Immunity Necklace, 2013, mixed media installation

Mishli’s Immunity Necklace derives its name from the reality show Survivor in which participants get to wear a tribal necklace symbolizing their victory (and immunity from elimination) once they reach an advanced stage in the competition. Mishli’s huge necklace bears aesthetic references to tribal art and may have been inspired by jewelry worn in Latin American indigenous communities. It is made of colored sandpaper and wood and comprised of multiple images representing various characters such as a king (in the center), workers and animals.
