About the Item

Utilizing the artist’s characteristic method of layering materials, Barquet creates a series of enigmatic collages that combine pieces of laser-cut wood, photographs, book pages, along with abstract forms, shells, pearls, and synthetic hair. Delving into the archetype of the Sybil, a prophetess whose voice, like that of the mythical Cassandra, carries coded messages of the future, Barquet invites viewers on a journey into the realms of ancient wisdom, mysticism, and foresight, continuing his interrogation of the fragmented nature of human existence through a rich tapestry of images, materials, and forms. The works in Oracles (2022-2024) present a nonlinear view of time in which the past and future converge. Barquet’s childhood experience of surviving a hurricane in his hometown on the Mexican coast offers another reference point informing his work.
