These Fluids Between Us is a series of unique glass blown sculptures shaped like pairs of pillows and produced in tribute to Felix Gonzales-Torres’ work “Untitled (billboard of an empty bed)”. As reminders of desire, lost love and grief as a common human experiences, the series continues Ababri’s reflection on the romantic couple as an exchange of matter and energy, their hollow shape serves a spectral reminder of desire, lust and transcendence achieved through the body. Ababri partially fills these sculptures with white, red and rose wine in a tribute to Gonzalez-Torres’ romantic partner Ross Laycock, a celebrated sommelier who died from complications due to AIDS. Complicating the work’s possible meanings in an act of resistance against labels and literal interpretations, the varying hues of liquid echo bodily fluids such as urine, blood and inflammation, pointing to a gesture of proliferation against any identitarian capture.
