Ana Teresa Barboza at the Lima Art Museum, Peru

Ana Teresa Barboza’s solo exhibition Looking at the Horizon to Maintain Balance is currently on view at the Lima Art Museum.

Barboza’s installation evokes the environment of Lobitos Beach, on the northern coast of Peru, where the cold Humbolt Current and the warm Equatorial waters converge, creating one of the world’s most biodiverse marine ecosystems. The region’s desert forest relies on climatic oscillations, with cyclical rainy and dry seasons shaped by these currents. Global warming has intensified these shifts, altering the landscape. Since the last El Niño, the forest, waves, and beach have transformed daily, leaving visible traces of these forces.

In Looking at the horizon to maintain balance, Barboza seeks to create a fabric from living materials that reflects the balance we can achieve by our ability to transform the environment with our hands. Barboza’s work invites reflection on the need to slow down and restore harmony with the natural systems to which we are intrinsically linked.
