Capturing Essence

Kreuser Gallery

2020

Capturing Essence is a collection of paper cast items. Each piece reveals a personal story about growing up in the grasp of Latinidad. By casting these items, the very root of its life is saved while the physicality of the items falls away. This is practice in decolonizing, in separating the person from the icon and letting the flesh of the story hold strong.

These pieces were sold as part of a partnership with The Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region, Downtown Partnership and Kreuser Gallery to raise funds for BLM orgs in Colorado Springs.
