Index Five, Composition Two

Xaviera Simmons's *Index Five, Composition Two* presents a layered visual exploration of landscape, identity, and cultural memory, characteristic of the artist's multidisciplinary practice. The work engages with themes of place and displacement, weaving together abstraction and representation to challenge fixed narratives about history and belonging. Simmons's bold compositional choices invite viewers to consider the intersections of the personal and the political within the natural and constructed world.
