This exhibition presents a series of works by artist May Herman that explore the delicate nature of botanical forms through a masterful blend of taxidermy-like precision and lyrical abstraction. Visitors can expect a sensorial, eco-conscious experience that celebrates the ephemeral beauty of flowers and the interplay of light and color.
In 'Poetics of Fragility', artist May Herman invites viewers into an ecosystem defined by silence and sensory depth. Through a practice that incorporates botanical taxidermy and abstract painting, she revives the essence of flowers—their corollas, filaments, and veins—translating them into a visual language that feels both scientific and deeply emotional. Her work occupies a space where meticulous drawing meets the ethereal qualities of light, evoking a zen-like atmosphere that references the fluidity and calm found in the natural world. The exhibition is curated by Fernando de la Rosa and serves as a reflection on the ephemeral, capturing the delicate dance of light upon leaves and petals. May Herman, who brings her background in clinical psychology to her creative practice, uses a palette of iridescence and subtle tones to explore themes of life, decay, and the persistence of memory. By inviting visitors to engage with the textures and transparencies of these biological structures, the exhibition prompts a quiet contemplation of beauty and resilience.
