Rona Pondick who is expected to have an exhibition in Nunu Fine. Her work was invited by the Yale University New Haven Campus in Connecticut and will be permanently on display in the campus. This piece is located just two blocks away from the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library which features a Noguchi Sculpture Garden, and not far from Alexander Calder's Gallows and Lollipops.
    
In this work, Rona fills the entire surface with the handwritten text "I want" to express human pursuit of desire: "Wanting" is a fundamental wish, a desire that propels us in life. Our wanting is drawn from both deep and shallow emotions, and desires, that exerts a profound influence on all facets of human behavior. I want what? Another person? To eat? Money? Power?........ To want is the foundation; the building block of human emotions. But once the words "I want" are taken out of context, how do we attach meaning to them? You think you know what wanting is. But do we? What are the objects of desire? What is desire itself?” The dedication for the building and sculpture will take place on September 20th, 2018. When it's finished, Nunu Fine Art’s friends are welcome to visit.
