La Ventosa I and La Ventosa II
1973

A black and white diptych showing a person at the beach with a large, reflective triangular prism covering their upper body. In both images, the person is partially submerged in the surf, with waves crashing around them. The reflective surface of the prism distorts and blends with the surrounding water and sky.
