Gabriela Ruiz Grounding, Prevent from Flying July 10 2021-August 21 2021 LaPau Gallery is pleased to present its inaugural exhibition Grounding, Prevent from Flying, a site-specific installation by artist and designer Gabriela Ruiz created to engage the viewer’s senses and presence in body and space. Ruiz, known for her vibrant and dynamic installations that invite the viewer into other worlds, composes a new exhibition of sand, sound, color saturation, and hyper-intimacy of the gallery space. Through an immersive simulation of the physical senses, the exhibition raises poignant questions about body regulation and the mind’s struggle with emotional tension amidst a continuum of reflections with past, present, and future selves
