1001 NIGHTS is a landscape of 1001 embellished wine bottles, created over a period of eight years, each numbered and dated on the bottom, placed on pedestals of varying heights, forming a 3-D labyrinth one can walk around and through. Personal narrative is sifted through political, literary and pop culture that addresses the larger social framework. The past, present and future fold into one another.
