Symbol Set 2.0 was presented at Loose Blues during Mexico City Art Week 2026, expanding the project into a more immersive and social environment. The installation introduced large-scale translucent works suspended throughout the space, activating light, movement, and layering to shift how the symbols were experienced in real time.

The show extended beyond a static exhibition, unfolding through a series of events and collaborations across mediums. These included a pop-up omakase night, live music performances, floral interventions, and DJ sets, each moment recontextualizing the work and inviting different modes of engagement. Symbol Set 2.0 functioned as both an installation and a living framework, where visual language, atmosphere, and collective experience continuously informed one another.

Symbol Set 1.0 was a solo installation in 2025 and the first iteration of an ongoing body of work exploring contemporary symbols, power structures, and visual language. The installation presented large-scale works that functioned like signals, part signage, part artifact, inviting viewers to navigate meaning through form, repetition, and material.
