Luis Flores’s Casa #3depicts the outline of a red house floating over palm trees accompanied by images of a person's face, a young man suspended in the air, and a pot with geometric patterning. These images symbolize ideals associated with home and, specifically, what the notion of a house means to the artist. With its collaged elements, the composition suggests how our memory works when thinking back to our roots. The striking shade of the red house positioned against the cool tones of blues and yellows emphasizes its structure and weight within the print. As the viewer’s eye is drawn into the collage of visuals, Flores’s work becomes a metaphor for memory and place.
