The museum says this exhibition "considers the sea as a metaphor for connection, passage, and the movement of memory across geographies, histories, and lived experience. Splitting his time between Puerto Rico and New York, Otero maintains a deep connection to the island, where the sea is a constant physical, cultural, and historical presence and uses that experience with the sea to create layered, fluid and dynamic representations of the water juxtaposed with domestic objects.’’
