"In the piece titled Rabbit Pearl Ramirez uses the image of a female vibrator, altering it until it has become visually intangible. The vibrator has been digitally transformed into a wafty pink fuzzy microbe looking object that could be representative of the virus itself. Often times in science and art, the closer we examine a thing, the more abstract it becomes. Ramirez solicits the audience through the use of factual moments that direct specific ideas. For example, Ramirez uses these fetish objects to portray sexual desires. They conjure a specific feeling and empathy." - “Chuck Ramirez” by David McCall Freeman 1999 Review of Long-Term Survivor exhibit
