Puerta transposes elements of the natural and urban: the delicate, intricate arrangement of a butterfly’s scales resembles a big city grid, and the labyrinthine flowers that are scattered throughout the print are akin to mechanical wheels. G-Variation II is reflective of both Puerta’s artistic practice and her identity as a Colombian American, exploring the relationship between nature, humanity, color, composition, emotion, form, and fragility.
