- About the Work: Esterio Segura uses planes as a recurrent motif to represent the idea of flying as a metaphor of freedom and the ideals of modernity.The work belongs to a recent series of paintings and tableaux that poetically makes use of different elements such as hybrid animals with airplane wings, or anthropomorphic modes of transportation that address Cuba’s isolation, constraint and impotence against various forms of restrictions, such as travel prohibition on the island and the struggle of the Cuban people to communicate with the outside world.
