Femme Minotaur consists of a small female minotaur sculpture made out of unfired red clay taken from a river near the artist’s home. The figure sits on top of the pigmented remnants of an oak tree that fell after the passing of Hurricane Maria, adding layers of meaning to the piece. This minotaur evokes other anthropomorphized creatures, particularly the sphinx, which have long been part of Tufiño’s body of work, as they explore biographical representation, family and matriarchal power. The piece is dedicated to her grandmother, Pilar, in whose house it was created.
