“In the Midst of Breakdown”
2017 mixed media on canvas
200 x 270 cm
by Angel Correa
This is a depiction of vulnerability. Each of us shares a commonality: we all will succumb to the inevitability of decrepitude and disintegration. This triptych depicts the impact of a body assaulted by bullets, in order to demonstrate how strong we can be in the midst of breakdown.
It’s not always possible to find obvious ways keep going; to maintain equilibrium; to remind ourselves of our journey back toward completeness when either our minds or our bodies are unexpectedly and uninvitedly broken down.
​
This is why the representation is of those who appear so vulnerable; so fragile – and yet seem to be moving forward with strength and conviction.
