Meet the artist transforming Caribbean mythology into an immersive experience
Known for her long, flowing hair and backward feet that make her impossible to track, folklore holds that she can only be captured during a full moon, but if held in captivity, she perishes. La Ciguapa symbolizes freedom, mystique, and transformation - themes that resonate deeply with the immigrant experience. The show is hosted at Nuestras Raices, Inc, Casa de la Cultura, in Baltimore - the first and only Latino educational, cultural, and empowering center in the state of Maryland.
"Fantastic Landscape of narrative and layers of imagination in dream form, for all of us to see. Beautiful vision!" - David Modler, Associate Professor of Art + Department Chair at Shepherd University.
This glowing installation features 50, 80-inch height panels suspended from the ceiling, creating an immersive and layered environment where light, texture, and sound combine to evoke a dreamlike forest. Visitors walk through the installation, encountering abstract artworks, poetry, and drawing elements. It opened on September 5th, 2024, with close to 200 attendees.
"I have never seen artwork like this in my entire life, it's striking!" - Visitor at the opening reception
