Part of Celso José Castro Daza’s critically acclaimed I Am Showering series, this unique physical creation treats a premium cotton paper substrate as an analytical laboratory for sub-surface fluid mechanics, letting raw ink lines, soft pastel boundaries, and fluid watercolor layers converge without the restrictions of a rigid previous design. The vertical arrangement tracks an intense graphic rhythm where the tightly curled male silhouette interacts dynamically with fluid paths of deep turquoise blue that mimic rushing water, transforming the interaction between control and chance into an undeniable architectural gravity that challenges social constructs of sex and gender.

Celso Castro is a referent of Colombian Caribbean art who has been drawing men for more than four decades, studying at the Pratt Institute in New York. In his works, Castro exalts the male genitalia, putting into tension the limits imposed by the sex/gender system that are part of an unquestioned patriarchal and phallocentric order. Most ment the ones he portrays are inhabitants of the Colombian coast, also constructing alternative ways of conceiving Latin American identity. By breaking taboos on corporality and male sexuality, his work has been censored on many occasions due to public accusations of immorality and pornography.
