With the video art piece Sotavento, Olga Gabrielle confronts us with a striking human form... lying seemingly motionless in the Aruban landscape. A form covered in dramatic red, evocative of the drama of human experience throughout the island’s colonized past —a historic past alluded to by the choice of Frenchman’s Pass/ Spanish Lagoon as the setting for this piece. The artist engages with the landscape, by inserting herself receptively to connect with the physical, imaginative, and spiritual inner flows it provides. A return to nature as a need for individual and social refoundation. An act of resistance.
