This untitled work by Menez presents a fascinating interplay of forms and colors, inviting us into a world of symbolic resonance. The collage of shapes, rendered in vibrant blues, reds, and oranges, immediately draws our attention to the underlying structure of the artwork. This construction can be compared to an earlier construction, such as the Tower of Babel from the Renaissance. The theme of construction, deeply embedded in our collective memory, speaks to the human yearning for structure and harmony. But, also the potential for chaos and disorder, as we see here in this artwork. Just as the Tower of Babel's collapse symbolized division, this artwork may be interpreted as an exploration of fragility. The image resonates with our deepest fears and aspirations, and is capable of engaging viewers on a subconscious level. Just as the Tower of Babel has resurfaced, evolved, and taken on new meanings, so does this artwork's construction challenge our perception of order, prompting us to explore the potential for meaning.
