Love Luggage exhibition artist
Claudia Rueda
Shelter
From the artist
Three little moles stop their journey to take shelter under the large branches of a tree as the rain falls. They feel safe not just because of the shelter, but mainly because they are together. This scene reflects the themes of connection and support, emphasizing the power of companionship during difficult times.
