A careful handling of reality that merges the
personal loss of family - both human and animal - and the universal experience of boundless loss as a result of
the pandemic. In time, Firi’s investigation of how memories inhabit objects and spaces will draw attention to the

In this work he shows the loss of his oldest pet parrot, laying under a cloth, showing its stiff lifeless body.
