White Electric Chair
Iván Navarro's *White Electric Chair* is a striking sculpture that employs neon light and mirrored surfaces to transform one of America's most iconic symbols of state-sanctioned death into an object of haunting, infinite repetition. The electric chair form, rendered in glowing white light, reflects endlessly into a deep illusory tunnel, simultaneously mesmerizing and unsettling the viewer. Navarro, a Chilean artist who lived through the Pinochet dictatorship, uses this work to interrogate power, punishment, and the aestheticization of violence.
