Castles in the sky

Vicenta Casañ - Castillos en el aire

A couple of weeks ago, Vicenta Casañ‘s exhibition of photographs “Castillos en el Aire” opened at Diana Lowenstein Fine Arts.

I enjoyed the premise of this exhibition, at least what I have deduced. I like the fact that Vicenta Casañ makes works about where she lives. In earlier works, she vested an interest in the study of her environment. There is a critique of Miami real estate development in these works, but I perceive a stronger poetic statement in her search for beauty in the image of Miami and her selective portrayal of this town.
