Shortcut

Three aluminum doors are outfitted with mirrors and neon light to create the illusion of infinite depth, drawing the viewer into seemingly endless corridors of glowing, repeated imagery. The triptych format multiplies this disorienting effect, suggesting the existence of hidden passageways or escape routes just beyond reach. Navarro's use of industrial materials and artificial light reflects his ongoing exploration of power, control, and the seductive yet deceptive promise of freedom.
