Alejandra Gorriti Art
Shadows Collection
2025
Each artwork is an internal discourse that attempts to reveal itself through its breaks and interruptions.
The transfers from paper to canvas, worn and imperfect, construct an emotional and uncomfortable shadow suspended over an acrylic background of pop prints. Each shadow, laden with fragments of text, appears maladjusted to the outside, to its background, creating an atmosphere of unease and disturbance, a symbol of vulnerability or an enigma.

The stars trace a path to an inexorable destiny that has no explanation or hope: the birth chart of every being on earth only indicates the brief period during which an irresistible force guides the traveler toward death. The astrological symbols of the planets and mathematical points gravitate and vanish in a yellow sky.

What is an angel?
In every religion there are silent emissaries from above, described as winged or monstrous beings. Hermes, the winged-footed god of borders and protector of those who cross them, also brings a dark and cryptic message from Olympus, the luminous mountain.

Death is an inseparable part of life, beating in every blade of grass and every being that inhabits this universe; it sets the pace and erects an illusory wall between life and life.

The I Ching or Book of Changes is structured in 64 hexagrams; the random fall of three coins, or the separation of millenrama sticks, will point to the one who is in synchronicity (as understood by Jung) with the moment in the life of the questioner. The message changes every moment, constant mutation moves the gears of the world.

The irrational fear of an imaginary threat causes tension, triggers alerts, marginalizes, and pushes us to seek a protective shell against the danger created by our wounded psyche. The menace, however, is inside.
