I come from an island. Continental experiences and borders are so meaningful, and to be surrounded by water is quite a unique and magnificently humbling thing. There is no place to go except to the sea.
– María Magdalena Campos-Pons
This compelling exhibition features artworks produced by María Magdalena Campos-Pons (b. 1959, Matanzas, Cuba) from the late 1990s through the present that meditate on the sea, a constant theme in the artist’s work.
