Daisy Quezada Ureña, to do something of consequence, no.1, 2024, porcelain, ratchet strap, wood 

 

"Exploring the obscure, particularly through the word quihica—a term equated with a door; a death that begins at the point of sacrifice—this work brings forward a narrative of transitions. The term, as described by Alexander von Humboldt and later Eduardo Galeano, emphasizes the tension that arises at the threshold of change opening 185 new cycles of the moon. This work questions the boundaries of existence, drawing on the histories of violence and personal narratives that have shaped these transitions. The indistinct space between life and death, also reflects the fraught borders of identity and geography, where the crossing itself becomes a journey marked by uncertainty and unresolved tensions."
