How does an infrastructure direct our consciousness inward and make us reflect on our bodies in relationship to the immense or the petite? ~
Intimate Immensity is a series of sculptures as the creation of spatial environments. They are explorations of positive and negative areas that conform possible playscapes, enticing dynamic interactions in a yet to be immense arrangement. The works question the integrative socio-political functions of public works, as they refer to the relationships between private & public, city & nature, permanent & ephemeral.

An architectural maquette-like sculpture. A piece that carries the phenomenology of immensity while it plays with the spectator’s imagination in relation to its possibilities of functionality and grandeur. Coral stone and metal, materials chosen in this exhibit to represent the foundation of colonial architecture of the Greater Antilles, create this piece which embodies the modern evolution of Caribbean architecture.
