15. WHAT IS THE CENTRAL IDEA OF YOUR CONCENTRATION?
BEAUTY IN UNANTICIPATED PLACES MEANS OPENING YOUR EYES TO REALITY. OVER THE YEARS, THE
PEOPLE OF CUBA AND HAITI INSPIRED ME TO PURSUE THE IDEA OF BEAUTY IN UNEXPECTED PLACES.
TO ME BEAUTY IS SOMETHING FAR DEEPER THAN THE OUTWARD APPEARANCE. BEAUTY IS
SOMETHING SEEN IN THE EYES OF A HOPELESS MAN ON THE STREETS, BREATHTAKING LANDSCAPES
AND ABANDONED STRUCTURES.
HOW DOES THE WORK IN YOUR CONCENTRATION DEMONSTRATE THE EXPLORATION OF YOUR IDEA?
I SAW BEAUTY IN THE PEOPLE AND SCENERY, OF THESE COUNTRIES, WHICH ILLUSTRATED
REFINEMENT AND HOPE. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FASCINATED THAT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACES ARE
UNNOTICED AND POOR. I USED HARMONY IN MY PIECES BY RELATING ELEMENTS IN MY
CONCENTRATION WITH SIMILAR SHAPES AND COLORS.
BEAUTY IS ALSO SEEN THROUGH DESIGN; I HOPE THAT I HAVE PORTRAYED BOTH CONTRAST AND
HARMONY THROUGHOUT MY PICTURES. I HAVE GOTTEN TO TRAVEL TO MANY DIFFERENT PLACES
AND SEE MANY THINGS, IN ALL MY TRAVELS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL OBJECTS APPEAR BROKEN BUT ARE
FAR FROM SHATTERED. I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THINGS ARE
OVERLOOKED, UNOBSERVED, AND IGNORED.
OVERLOOKED BEAUTY OCCURS AS PEOPLE PASS BY BREATHTAKING MOMENTS BECAUSE THEY ARE
TOO OCCUPIED WITH THE PRESENT. C#1 THIS PIECE USES STRONG DIRECTIONAL LINES ENHANCING
THE EROSION OF THE IRON.
UNOBSERVED BEAUTY ARISES BECAUSE PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO SEE THE UNIMAGINATIVENESS OF
REALITY. SO C#6 SHOWS THE ROOFTOP’S STRIKING REPETITION AND DIRECTION
IGNORED BEAUTY HAPPENS WHEN SOCIETY TRIES TO IGNORE THE POVERTY, HOPELESSNESS, AND
MARGINALIZED PEOPLE. C#9 DRAWS THE VIEWER’S EYES IN BY CONTRASTING THE EMOTIONS OF THE
GIRL IN ANGUISH WITH THE JOYFUL GIRL. THE GRAFFITI BRINGS THE EYE TO THE DEPRIVED GIRL AND
THEN PATTERNED TIN WALL RHYTHMICALLY LEADS TO THE CHILD IN MODERN ATTIRE.
