N.A.S.A.L. is pleased to present a duo presentation by Enrique Garcia and Miguel Cinta Robles, two artists whose practices reflect on industrialization, memory, and the tension between the natural and the manufactured.
Garcia’s sculptures and wall works examine how technology reshapes landscape and perception. His circular metal-and-plastic structure references industrial chain mechanisms, while Negative Epiphany #7 pairs found images with ball chain to evoke the violence of scientific and nationalistic ambition.
Cinta Robles focuses on memory, place, and the cultural histories embedded in materials. His drawing series explores how narratives emerge from fragmented recollection, while Mapa de fibras vegetales de regiones de Oaxaca links ancestral fiber traditions to ecological intimacy and the colonial exploitation of Indigenous labor. The contrast between natural fibers and steel cable underscores the pressures of industrialization on land and community.
Together, their works build a dialogue on how progress reshapes our relationship with the environment, the past, and one another—revealing what is lost, transformed, or preserved as we move forward.
