✦ Artist's Note
"Ernesto Quiroz's assemblage draws from the oceanic cadences of Rio, casting bones and scales in a delicate choreography against the constraint of nets. His work, infused with the colors of conflict and resolution, mirrors the pulse of protest and the fraught dance between authority and the streets. It stands as a testament to moments where the essence of struggle unfolds, where hopeful transparency threads through dense layers of adversity."
