In Jatziri Barron's When the Air Remembers, the atmosphere becomes an archive of motion, memory, and metamorphosis. This body of work explores the lingering traces left behind by flight, migration, and change. Using iron paint, rust patinas, and dry pastels, each piece maps unseen currents: the invisible imprints of wings, wind, and time. Textures echo weathered landscapes and eroded histories, where decay becomes part of creation. The works move between presence and absence, lightness and gravity, asking what remains after movement, and what the air might hold if it could remember us.
This exhibition invites viewers to pause in that space between departure and arrival, where memory and material converge in the language of abstraction.
