Carlos Garaicoa

Towers

Carlos Garaicoa's *Towers* presents a contemplative exploration of urban architecture and the complex histories embedded within built environments, themes central to the Cuban artist's practice. Garaicoa examines the symbolic and political weight of towers as structures of power, ambition, and utopian aspiration, inviting reflection on the tension between idealism and decay. The work continues his ongoing investigation into how cities carry the traces of ideology, memory, and the passage of time.
