Abraham Cruzvillegas

Abraham Cruzvillegas presents a self-titled work that invites viewers to contemplate the relationship between identity, authorship, and artistic practice. The piece reflects Cruzvillegas's broader conceptual approach, often rooted in ideas of autoconstrucción — the improvised, resourceful building of self and community drawn from his upbringing in Mexico City. By naming the work after himself, the artist collapses the boundary between creator and creation, suggesting that the self is an ongoing, unfinished construct.
