EARTH WINDOWS

CLEO THE PROJECT SPACE, SAVANNAH GA -

6/19/2026 - 7/25/2026

Cleo the Project Space is pleased to present Earth Windows, a two person show featuring the work of Noah Reyes and Yanira Vissepó. This exhibition is a union of both artists’ work situated in the spectacle of memory through excavated and recreated landscapes.

At the center of this showcase is a large-scale installation that features framing from Reyes using the raw materials of 2x4’s and plywood as a position to revisit their adolescence growing up on construction sites. Within the exploration of Mexican-American diaspora that has shaped their family mythologies in a blend of lore and phenomenon there is a motive that is steadfast to unearthing a personal narrative in totality. Inside the formalities of their build sites, Reyes leaves personal mementos like imprinted photos and drawings on the bones of the build creating a site incarnated as the homage to this unearthing.

Situated in the windows of this structure and beyond lies the work of Vissepó, mixed media pieces focused on the hybridization of flora native to her birthplace of Puerto Rico and Coastal Georgia. Utilizing stain painting, linocut printmaking, cyanotype, dye resists, and hand embroidery, Vissepó creates landscapes that evoke a blended vision of world building situated on transition and migration. Her conception of home is woven between the fragility of a natural world that melds both her adoption of the American South along with her motherland of Puerto Rico. The coral colors in her work conjuring the Caribbean grow their vibrancy in celebration and joy, a reminder of the power of cross-cultural connections forged within the layered discourse of Puerto Rican diaspora.
