Abstract

In this artistic project, Maureen Gubia works from the confinement imposed by the pandemic, leading her to revisit and reinterpret images of very close individuals, her family, drawn and painted in numerous notebooks over nearly two decades, along with more recent ones derived from screenshots of video calls with relatives living in Canada and Chile. The artist wonders what happens when a distant production is reinvented in time. In doing so, she discovers that she needs the inner strength, youthfulness, vitality, boldness, confidence, and defiance of those moments to navigate the complexity of the present.

This curatorial text was written for the exhibition titled "The Cave I Inhabit" by Maureen Gubia, held in June and July of 2023 at Proyecto N.A.S.A.L in Guayaquil, Ecuador.
