Bermudez Projects in Cypress Park invites you to experience *Under A Steady Magnificence*, an exploration of change, constancy, and the depths of existence through Leticia Maldonado’s latest exhibition, running from November 9 through December 7, 2024. This immersive exhibit features seven new mid- to large-scale mixed media neon sculptures, each serving as a meditation on the cycles of life, the permanence of change, and the mystery of existence.
Through striking compositions in glass, neon, and organic materials, Maldonado investigates themes that have challenged humankind for ages. Her works combine celestial inspiration and earthly symbols, crafting pieces that capture the feeling of existing between worlds. Among the featured works, *A Steady Magnificence* stands as an homage to the waxing and waning of the moon, showcasing intricately engraved pampas grasses glowing under a golden Harvest moon. The piece represents the natural rhythms that frame our lives.
Additional standout works, *Neither Here* and *Nor There*, crafted with bronze mirrored plexiglass, glass, and neon, symbolize the untouchable nature of energy and transformation. These pieces reflect Maldonado’s poetic grasp on the elusive borders between being and becoming.
Maldonado’s creations are entirely handcrafted, from the delicate etchings to the glowing neon tubing. Pieces like *Are We All Just Praying to The Best In Each Other?* are embedded with folk charms and carved symbols, embodying the sacred and spiritual in a visually arresting manner.
Join Bermudez Projects to reflect on life’s constancy and the inherent changes that guide us all. This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in Maldonado’s meditative, reverent approach to art that reflects on the cycles that frame our lives and the spaces in between.
