Daniel Guzmán

A cardboard box serves as the foundation for an eccentric assemblage of everyday and novelty objects, including two ceramic elephants, a bunch of plastic bananas, and a plastic sign suspended by string. The work blurs the line between sculpture and found-object arrangement, imbuing mundane materials with a quiet sense of humor and personal mythology. Guzmán's use of his own name as the title invites viewers to consider the work as a self-portrait constructed not from likeness, but from the language of ordinary things.
