We are stuck, suspended, waiting for our world to ‘go back to normal.’ – Lauren Riojas-Fitzpatrick Polymorpha is an immersive, time- based installation that was on view in the Texas State Galleries FLEX space until Febraury 27. Several hundred helium-filled reflective balloons, each one suspending a single leaf, filled the gallery. The balloons slowly danced, swayed, and, eventually, descended. Viewers were encouraged to move throughout the space—to peer at their reflections within each balloon and to observe how their physical presence impacts the installation and how the installation, in turn, impacts them.
