“Sin título (Untitled)”, 1965, represents the architecture of confinement- resembling a prison cell in her use of strips of car battery cells. A door is ajar, but the interior is unattainable and guarded. This work recalls her castles and locks series, which reference her hometown of Puerto Cabello, home to the largest population of political prisoners during the Juan Vicente Gómez regime (1908–1935).
