Imagen por Venir is a work of art created by Allen’s Cruz during the 2023 Nicho diploma program at Avalokita. Cruz explores the concept of idiosyncratic symbols. Imagen por Venir is the interpretation of a symbol containing multiple layers (themes of identity, tension, and archiving) with the original form of a baseball glove, on which a fragmented visual summary has been engraved into the leather. Is it fragmented due to the passage of time or encoded as a solution for survival?
The artwork not only invites visual contemplation but also encourages you to explore these opaque lines inscribed on it, thus creating a more intimate and participatory connection—a symbolic play where the physical merges with the graphic.
