LUSMERLIN transforms Caribbean mythology into an immersive art experience
Baltimore, MD - October 03, 2024 - Upon entering this new world, be prepared to be dazzled by the breadth, size and energy of this work. This Hispanic Heritage Month, LUSMERLIN presents an ethereal immersive art installation titled "The Uncatchable Ciguapa", and a collection of abstract artworks "We become the color of dreams". The multi-experiential artist invites visitors to step into the mythical world of La Ciguapa, an elusive figure from the folklore of La Hispaniola (present-day Dominican Republic and Haiti).Image: https://www.abnewswire.com/uploads/dccb8ee360dc081d7b97f161e1bd4b64.jpg
La Ciguapa is believed to dwell in the woods and rivers of La Hispaniola. 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.
"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.
