“Trauma” combines two recent bodies of work by Jesse Berlin. “The Damaged” series consists of hollow ceramic statues that have been deliberately fractured, revealing a contrasting inner space as a representation of the unseen effects of psychological trauma. The “Smokestack Cenotaph” series presents several miniature towers that serve as models of imagined ruined architecture from a forgotten, despotic society, long since abandoned and left to decay. These buildings are totemic of the collective trauma that we share as victims and participants in the corrupt endeavor of human enterprise.
