Lisyanet's work is based on the premise that art can be "simultaneously beautiful and troubling" and reflects on the concept of beauty and the ambiguities within it. By creating objects that seem tender, homely, but possibly menacing, she makes evident how suffering, pain, violence, and deformity converge on our own vulnerability. Rodriguez's work expresses a non-traditional sense of beauty constantly reminding us that "nothing is ever as beautiful, never as bad.”
