Atlantic O
by Irene Pérez

For Atlantic O artist Irene Pérez presents a conceptual and material exploration that investigates the body of water that both separates and connects the American and European continent. In Atlantic O this massive expansion of salty fluid and fluid emotional states are at odds due to Perez’s return “home” to Spain after a 10-year absence.
