“These paintings offer no resolution. They embrace the discomfort of ambiguity.” Agricola Mojica’s recent work has transitioned to representing moments of rest and tranquility. In I Can Hear My Heart Beating, the themes of rest and stillness speak to the artist’s lived experience and her interrogation of femininity, selfhood, and care. She creates familiarity among a sense of unease, alluding to experiences of parenting, educating, and creating. The title is indicative of physical sensations and rhythms such as breath and heartbeats.
