Queen is the name given to the present series of self-portraits, which together create a particular story about the experience of an individual approaching the threshold of a period of change.

This exhibition has been crafted to be read as a diary, while also supporting and cementing the artist's practice by using selective lighting to narrate a sentimental catharsis.

This body of work explores a period in a girl's life that foreshadows her identity transformation into a woman who, like her mother, will give birth to her own kingdom. It is during this period of change, within the process of transformation, that she becomes aware of her new responsibilities as a "complete woman."

Reina is an experiment in self-portraiture, creating a new object—maternography—that engages the artist with the inexorable bond of uterine advantage. This serves as a constant reminder of the virtuous possession that comes with the opportunity to be a mother.

Mónica Félix's work is present with a deeply intimate charm that speaks directly to the viewer. Through her wide-angle lenses, feminine themes, and ambitious statements, Félix explores the needle and thread that weave life and art together.

On display until June 24, 2012.
