Solo show by Natalia Arias. "Nature bespeaks of a simple harmony in all, culture tells us that what is natural is not necessarily desirable. 'Taboo' looks to brush away some of these obscuring clouds, to find again fragments of natural beauty, once ours, now lost." N. Arias
The Nohra Haime Gallery is pleased to present Natalia Arias' first one person exhibition. TABOO will be on view at the gallery from March 9 - April 10, 2005. The exhibition consists of a series of enigmatic photographs dealing with life and the right of passage.
"At birth we greet the world without reservation and with time and practice, we learn to unlearn, to clutter the uncluttered, to impose boundaries on limitless horizons, to avoid the unspeakable. Nature bespeaks of a simple harmony in all, culture tells us that what is natural is not necessarily desirable. "Taboo" looks to brush away some of these obscuring clouds, to find again fragments of natural beauty, once ours, now lost."
