The exhibition Dukkha presents a new assemblage of geometric threads and photo sculptures in which influences of Constructivism come together with the culture of the Congolese Diaspora in Panama. Dukkha is a sequel to a series that Guzman started during a residency at Art OMI in New York.
Nails, threads, ropes, carvings, digital layers and different sorts of geometric explorations have all been used to literally and figuratively load the photographs, forming crisscrossing patterns and connecting dots across the imaginary. Exploring prints and patterning through traditional Maroon and Kuba textiles principles.
