Stray Dog is a wall sculpture within a larger body of work exploring resilience, migration, and belonging. Inspired by loyal stray dogs in small Latin American towns, the piece metaphorically represents those who discover profound meaning in connection after existing on society's margins. The artist draws from personal migrant experience, embedding the sculpture with symbolic references to transformation and emotional endurance.
Crafted from spray-painted wood sealed in resin, the expressive materiality transforms the dog into a vessel of memory and rebirth. This work resonates with the exhibition's investigation of human thresholds and fluid identity, addressing not geographical borders but internal and emotional frontiers.
Through Stray Dog, the artist suggests that survival and loyalty emerge from adversity, positioning art as a navigational tool for the unseen terrain of personal reinvention. The sculpture ultimately celebrates the capacity to find home and purpose despite displacement, honoring both literal and metaphorical journeys toward belonging and self-discovery.
