" 'The gift (that I protect)' is a series of five-sided boxes fabricated with copper, solder, and a mixture of contemporary and antique coloured glass. Their form resembles that of glass cases used to house valuable items in a museum setting, but unlike museological vitrines, which are designed to transparently reveal the qualities of their contents, The gift (that I protect)’s coloured glass obscures what lies within. One panel on each of these glass rectilinear forms has been fragmented into a series of shards and then soldered back together. A single shard has been removed from each panel and replaced with a contrasting colour, creating a negative space that echoes that of the pudenda. This shattered panel suggests the theft of the object originally protected by this case, without which the vitrine might seem to have only decorative significance. The repair of this vitrine suggests its new use as a record of something broken and repaired with a piece taken from another (absent) vitrine, suggesting an intersection of two objects designed to protect a continually absent thing of value." - August Klintberg

'Le cadeau (que je protège)' est une série de boîtes à cinq côtés fabriquées avec du cuivre, de la soudure et un mélange de verre coloré contemporain et antique. Leur forme ressemble à celle des vitrines en verre utilisées pour abriter des objets de valeur dans un musée, mais contrairement aux vitrines muséologiques, qui sont conçues pour révéler de manière transparente les qualités de leur contenu, le verre coloré de The gift (that I protect) masque ce qui se trouve à l'intérieur. Un panneau de chacune de ces formes rectilignes en verre a été fragmenté en une série d'éclats puis soudé à nouveau. Un seul tesson a été retiré de chaque panneau et remplacé par une couleur contrastée, créant ainsi un espace négatif qui fait écho à celui des pudenda. Ce panneau brisé suggère le vol de l'objet protégé à l'origine par cette affaire, sans lequel la vitrine pourrait sembler n'avoir qu'une signification décorative. La réparation de cette vitrine suggère sa nouvelle utilisation comme témoin de quelque chose de cassé et réparé avec une pièce prise dans une autre vitrine (absente), suggérant une intersection de deux objets destinés à protéger une chose de valeur continuellement absente". - August Klintberg
