Typically invisible, heat waves are visible along the golden shadowy gradient of a telescope mirror. At the bottom a candle’s wick and its mirror image break the circle.](https://artistsspace.org/media/pages/exhibitions/fwiw/183219675-1718724107/zavitsanos-the-one-who-knows-may-show-the-one-who-knows-2024-1280x.jpg)
A wish is a well. A well is a productive wound in the Earth, a spring, an abundance. A gathering round groundwater. A coin has many values, and devalues. A wish is invaluable. For what it’s worth, here’s my two cents: I am still alive.

Constantina Zavitsanos works in sculpture, performance, text, and sound and deals in debt, dependency, and other shared resources. Zavitsanos uses the material processes and concepts of superposition, interference, occlusion, and transduction to blur sensing and feeling, knowing and seeing, contiguous and noncontiguous touch.
Fwiw stays in study with perception and poetics across new experiments in haptics, demonstration, and description that privilege the material presence of sound, text, and fleeting image.
