Your grief belongs to you, and it can be so so pretty.

Your grief belongs to you, and it can be so so pretty

Private View 12 November 18-23h | Exhibition 13 - 16 November 2025

Galleria Objets, London | Free entry

On 13 November, Mercurial Pearl will present “Your grief belongs to you, and it can be so so pretty” at Galleria Objets, London. The show invites viewers to explore the softer, overlooked dimensions of grief. The collection will remain on view until 16 November and will feature new work by Mercurial Pearl (France) as well as guest artists: Fernanda Cassel (Brazil), Lissa Capeleto (Brazil), Kostruk (Ukraine), Giulia Oldani (Italy) and Sebawali Sio (Kenya).

Through a mixed-media presentation of collage, photography, sculpture, embroidery, video and sound, the artists draw on their personal and cultural experiences to reveal grief as a nuanced, collective experience. Though often experienced in isolation, it can be owned and honored. This collection seeks to transcend the weight of grief and shed light on its complex and unexpectedly pretty forms.

“Your grief belongs to you, and it can be so so pretty” moves from darkness and rigidity to glimmers and softness. The works tell stories of layered intricacy, abstracted moments in time and space, and the universal need for connection.

In addition to the grief that accompanies death, the work explores the grief of letting go of a past version of oneself, the bitter-sweet grief of nostalgia, the disconnected grief of being an immigrant in another country…and the rituals subconsciously created to integrate all of this.
