R O D R I G O V A L E N Z U E L A | Mueca | Sculpture
Muecas, a series of white ceramic sculptures mounted on aluminum pipes and metal armatures. Created by casting Valenzuela’s own hands in contorted, ambiguous poses, these sculptures capture unrecognized gestures of human expression. According to Valenzuela, these works serve as “motions of desire” and contribute to a “collective lexicon” that reflects the effort to communicate from positions of powerlessness.
