Abstract
Sub Rosa: La Casa de Beatriz Cabrera is a multimedia room installation representing a conversation taking place between a mom and daughter exposing family lineage, the role of caretaker, and motherhood. The visitor enters through curtains lined with dried roses on the two long sides of the room, and either walks around or sits on a bed in the center. At the two short ends of the bed are the only solid walls, each of which displays a wall-size quilted mask. Through the eye openings of each mask, visitors see video footage of my mother's eyes and my eyes searching, evoking in the viewer the feeling of entering someone else's dream. At every turn, there is the sense that everything represents something else.
