The artwork features a striking industrial-inspired sculpture composed of various metal and wooden materials. The prominent design elements include a series of zigzagging, geometric forms that create a dynamic, angular composition. The predominant colors are earthy tones of rusted steel and weathered wood, lending a sense of industrial decay to the piece. The artist seems to have employed techniques such as welding, carpentry, and assemblage to construct this abstract, three-dimensional structure. This sculptural work may reflect the artist's exploration of themes related to urban landscapes, decay, and the repurposing of found materials in contemporary art. ...
Ser Serpas’s practice exists at the blurred intersection of art, poetry and activism. Whether creating sculptures from debris found on the street, working with a hoard of fabric gifted by her friends, making an exhibition out of objects she found at the exhibition site, drawing in public spaces, or writing on train rides, Serpas makes work that complicates the notion of materiality amidst the late-capitalist condition. Created in private, intimate, seemingly improvised moments, the works are never fully -visible to her audiences. The artist’s exhibitions are composed of assemblages of discarded and mistreated objects turned corporeal, becoming what the artist calls ‘assisted readymades’. Subverting Duchamp’s readymades and Rauschenberg’s Combines – the male-dominated history of sculpture – Serpas returns the objects to the streets after her exhibitions, allowing them to revert to their original state and provokes playful questions about the value of the space inside a museum, as opposed to the outside. An activist since high -school, the artist speaks up about structural inequalities, and provides support through facilitated workshops, community aid and artistic inspiration.
