Jaguara, 2019 Sculpture

Fond of latin American hand crafts, Torres pays homage to artisans with this piece. "Jaguara", or female jaguar, was conceived and sketched up by the artist during a visit to Mexico in 2019. The piece is a female deconstruction of the traditional jaguar figures used by artisans of different regions in latin America. Although jaguars are traditionally depicted and associated with virtues of wisdom and power, their femininity or masculinity are never shown or exhalted. This piece is one of Torres's famous "Modular Fungi" which are installed in female or concave corners, as opposed male or convex corners. Torres regards corners as a limit of all limits which makes them portals towards both the new and the unobserved. More specifically, a new form of art that comes from the sublimation and emancipation of tribal latin American art.
