Label copy

While colorful enamel panels are typical of Juan Esteban Pérez’s work, this dark and chaotic composition was made in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. It evokes the feelings of anxiety, fear, and isolation that marked that collective experience: separated, yet together. Pérez’s use of silver foil provides a counterpoint to the enamel, perhaps the reflection of hope amid uncertainty.
