"This is the story of a woman who invents her freedom by creating an imaginary architecture made of light, scraps of memory, hopes, and dreams - a permeable architecture where nothing is confined. It is dedicated to Juana La Loca, the supposed 'mad' queen of Spain in the 16th century who for political motives was imprisoned for 46 years by her father, husband, and son in an architecture of darkness and stone." --Josephine Sacabo. During her 36-year career her work has been featured in over 40 gallery and museum exhibition in the U.S., Europe and Mexico.
