Marina Cruz’ oeuvre has featured fragments of memory and ideas of familial virtue. From her nostalgia infused interior scenes to her reminiscent hyperrealist dresses, there is an indelible touch of herself laid onto every creation. Of fleeting familiar things, and memories of things long gone, Cruz’ works immortalize the things she holds dear — both memories and belongings.

This work by the contemporary genius, though featuring a similar subject, presents itself in a three-dimensional medium. The physical aspects of the sculpture allow the audience to see the actuality of the dress — a more personal and up close feel of this thing that the artist so passionately holds close. Elegant in execution and stunning in all its detail, this 2008 work is an excellent actualization of the artist’s revered subject.
