A new acquisition is coming to the Tampa Museum of Art’s permanent collection. Goodbye My Love represents Esterio Segura’s ongoing exploration of the meaning of airplanes and flight. Good-Bye My Love will be part of the exhibition Prelude: An Introduction to the Permanent Collection on view in the Jean Bacon Divers Gallery.
Goodbye My Love
In describing the series, Segura explained, “In this work, the reference to the airplane hybridizes with a reference to another well-known universal symbol: a simplified image of the heart. This is fused with an easily understood title with several meanings, from the most corny and sentimental to the most controversial, from a political and social standpoint. With this work, I reference the experience of uprooting, nostalgia, memory, loss. How we experience the breakdown of everything we love.”
