LIGHT BETWEEN THE ISLANDS  at the Richard Taittinger Gallery for the “WOMEN” exhibition

Location: Richard Taittinger Gallery | New York, NY, 2022

RICHARD TAITTINGER GALLERY is proud to present “WOMEN”, an exhibition of deep resonance held in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This presentation reflects the gallery’s commitment to honoring women’s strength and supporting their wellbeing through the transformative power of art.

At the center of the exhibition is Grimanesa Amorós, whose light sculpture LOTUS brings both power and softness to the space. Through movement, light, and layered symbolism, the work evokes the beauty and complexity of womanhood.

The lotus flower has long symbolized femininity, resilience, and rebirth. It grows through muddy waters to bloom in the light, representing inner strength, transformation, and grace. In many cultures, it is associated with purity and emotional clarity. Amorós channels this meaning into a sculptural experience that speaks to the quiet force within all women.

Through her use of light, sculpture, and technology, Amorós creates an immersive environment that invites contemplation and connection. LOTUS honors not only the symbolic power of the flower but also the enduring spirit of the women it represents.
