evoking both the pre-Incan floating reed islands of Lake Titicaca and the sea foam of Amorós’s Lima childhood in a work that brings one of Peru’s most enduring Indigenous traditions into dialogue with contemporary China.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cul>\r\n\r\n\u003Cli>Part of Future Pass, a landmark international exhibition produced by the Today Art Museum in Beijing, the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts in Taichung, and the UNEEC Culture and Education Foundation in Taipei, UROS ISLAND placed Amorós among the most significant voices in a project connecting Asian and Latin American contemporary art across institutional borders.\u003C\u002Fli>\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003Cli>Amorós first created the Uros Island series after visiting the forty-two self-fashioned floating islands of Lake Titicaca, where the pre-Incan Uros people have built their entire world from totora reeds, from houses to boats to watchtowers, a feat of Indigenous engineering she describes as one of her most profound encounters with human ingenuity.\u003C\u002Fli>\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003Cli>The sculpture’s lighting sequence was developed after Amorós spent time analyzing the precise quality of light from sunrise to sunset in both Venice and Lake Titicaca, blending the luminous characteristics of both bodies of water into a single unified sequence.\u003C\u002Fli>\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003Cli>The work appears to arise seamlessly from the ground, as if it were one with the earth, a quality Amorós achieves by grounding the form in the organic logic of the reed island itself, which the Uros people continuously rebuild and replenish as a living structure.\u003C\u002Fli>\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003Cli>UROS ISLAND received coverage in Yuan Space Museum and across international art media (2011–2012), affirming its place within Amorós’s most sustained and significant body of work and its resonance across Asian, Latin American, and international contemporary art audiences.\u003C\u002Fli>\r\n\u003C\u002Ful>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n
