A collaboration with Azucena Trejo, curated by Linsey Cummins, were installed at Louisville Grows as part of Louisville Visual Arts’ Curator Purchase Inspires Grant. Designed to be responsive to the environment, these ceramic sculptures will interact with elements such as rainfall and wind, producing subtle sounds and environmental shifts over time. This evolving installation invites viewers to experience the artwork not as a static object, but as a living component of the landscape and the built environment—shaped by nature, time, and chance.
