About this artwork
With a keen eye for form, light, and color, Laura Aguilar photographed herself over a period of years in desert land-scapes across the Southwest. Posing near boulders and vegetation, she suggested a physical connection to lands that could be in the United States or Mexico. Aguilar rhymed her body with natural forms, envisioning a state of belonging free of societal conventions. At the same time one may wonder where the “natural” boundaries lie: between the United States and Mexico, or between the attractive and the abject.
