Flor Flores: mirror moment
October 16 - November 22, 2025
“Kiki is a queer monarch butterfly, shaped by every touch. She brushes past petals and gathers color, shape, memory. These paintings follow her logic: touch is transformation. Over time, Kiki led Flor back to flowers, then to the body. A mirror moment—budding—body euphoria. Skin echoes petal, a flor de piel. It doesn’t explain—it reflects. Her gestures become a way of seeing, of feeling. Not a fixed self. Not arrival. Just bloom.”
-Flor Flores
Flor Flores: mirror moment is an exhibition of new and recent works by transdisciplinary artist and poet Flor Flores. The artist’s process of creating these paintings, drawings, sculptures, poems, and textile-based installations centers on a caring and poetic channeling of Kiki, a butterfly. The artist has recently lifted divisions previously existing between the multiple artforms, noting this was possible after “Kiki showed me the way”. Folding, holding, flapping, flitting, touching, and shifting are actions Flor has learned from the butterfly, creating a new playground for experimentation and transformation with their own shifting body and identities.
