Red Ladder (Backstage)
A striking ladder form rendered in vivid red neon light creates an illusion of infinite depth, drawing the viewer into a mesmerizing tunnel of repeated rungs that seem to extend endlessly into darkness. Navarro's signature use of mirrors and artificial light transforms a humble, utilitarian object into a meditation on power, labor, and entrapment. The work's theatrical title hints at hidden systems and structures that operate just beyond public view, inviting reflection on the invisible forces that shape society.
