As for the central piece of this show, Constellation Spark, <\/em>visitors are welcome to experience, as described by the collective, \u201ctouch and ritual,\u201d and become one with the stories the artists tell. As the main foundation of the show, sound and video give visitors a tour inside multiple bodies of work made from beads, TV static, video and print.<\/p>\n\n\n The Celestial Collective, Constellation Spark, video installation \/ Sound Scape, 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each TV is playing a video loop, filmed by each member of the collective striking a match from the Redbird box to spark a discussion very similar to the beginning of a sacred ceremony. Each element, such as the Redbird matches and beaded work, is a piece of memory the artists hold close, yet are brave enough to \u201cthrow into the fire\u201d to share the story of resilience that will live on.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
