Limón emerged from a dream during the development of MIGRAR and became one of the defining works of the series.
A quality of homesickness permeates the work. Rendered in chartreuse, olive, ochre, and sun-bleached yellow, the surface resembles a homeland viewed through memory rather than physical observation. The landscape is familiar but softened by distance and time.
Created more than a decade after leaving Texas, Limón reflects the tension of loving a place while no longer feeling at home within it. Memories of open fields, dry grass, hard work, and the rhythms of rurual life coexist with the social and political realities that made departure feel necessary. What remains is neither a portrait of Texas nor a critique of it, but a memory shaped by longing and absence.
From a distance, the work resembles an aerial landscape. Up close, it shifts into something cellular, recalling migration at both the biological and human scale. The same patterns appear again and again throughout the natural world: in grasslands, root systems, rivers, and living tissue.
Limón inhabits the space between organism and landscape, asking what traces of home remain after our migration.
