About the Item
Hundida, meaning drowned in Spanish, is a glazed ceramic stoneware of a woman holding her throat and enveloped in her hair. It was made during covid, a time when Rafaela was in early motherhood and felt isolated by the restrictions imposed due to the pandemic.
'Hundida', a woman strangling herself, is an image that started as a very loose, brightly coloured oil on paper. She was then developed as the protagonist in a large scale Boschian nightmare in oils, and then stepped out of the canvas to form a ceramic sculpture. As the clay rose, her head began to collapse onto her neck, her face became featureless, a convex, metallic surface, giving way to her exuberant glazed hair, weighing her down and enveloping her like seaweed as she drowns. The image of her and what she represents is stretched and compressed, moving from narrative character to symbolic form through the different mediums.
