Esterio Segura is a pioneer of Cuban contemporary art. His installation, Goodbye My Love, on view from March 18 to May 13, 2013, is a hanging outdoor installation of 12 planes made of heart-shaped bodies that reference the love found in contemporary relationships that often requires people to be separated from each other.
As a Cuban artist, Segura’s piece also resonates with those who sometimes must be separated from their families in order to leave their countries.
The artwork engages the audience to revisit the work repeatedly from a place of celebration or remembrance.
