ART21: DANIEL LIND-RAMOS
Inspired by his hometown Loíza’s diverse and inventive culture, Puerto Rican artist Daniel Lind-Ramos combs the beaches and streets for palm fronds, items that wash up on the shore, and discarded everyday materials that speak to the story of the Caribbean. Transformed into artwork that reflects the history and energy of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, these objects are folded into narratives about immigration, natural disaster, and colonization. This short documentary offers a behind-the-scenes look at Lind-Ramos’ artistic processes as he creates sculptures inspired by his experience of Hurricane Maria and its aftermath, highlighting the Puerto Rican story while connecting it to a broader one about the human condition.
