Process:
The initial theme of chiaroscuro led my imagination to see images of severe & harsh lighting—which I have never played with in my art. After seeing Capicúa (which means "palindrome" in Spanish), I wanted to play with the meaning of the word as well as the art provided. I visualized a piece with a similar beginning and ending, with dancers who shed their shirts to expose the same thing all over again, and also simple shapes that were continually transformed, like the artist did before me.
