Arlés del Rio's Nearness dealt with restrictions, distance, the forbidden and achieving longings despite impediments. The 17 sculptures consisted of copper and steel panels cut out with human silhouettes of various sizes. These panels invited participants to get close and even step through, representing metaphorically the social, political, cultural and personal barriers, among others, that may keep us away from one another.
