Xavier Cortada, “Odonata,” ceramic, 2013.
Dragonflies inspire all who behold them to explore the world in six directions! Navigate the streets to find camaraderie, cultural enrichment and stimulation. Attune your senses to the ever-changing colors, sounds and moods of nature.
To create the art, I took videos of dragonflies out in the Everglades which I then translated first into digital images and then onto a slab of clay which I carved and glazed. Besides generating conversation about habitat preservation, I see dragonflies as models of what the elderly who live here can do. They don’t have to be trapped in these buildings, they can literally walk outside and go in any direction, like the six directions a dragonfly can move. They can even dance with the butterflies.

A public art project at South Miami Plaza, (Miami-Dade Housing Authority), Miami, FL. Among the most intelligent and flexible invertebrates, the octopus thrives in many diverse regions of the ocean.

Xavier Cortada, “Starfish Shuffle: Digital Tapestry,” 4′ x 40′, dye sublimation on fabric, 2014. Port Everglades – The two public artworks created by Xavier Cortada include a 40-foot ceramic mural dubbed “Pelican Path” and “Starfish Shuffle”. "Starfish Shuffle," a series of eight wall-mounted ceramic murals and a 40-foot digital tapestry, creates an awareness of the vibrant marine life that abounds in the natural environment just offshore from Broward County’s blue wave beaches. The artworks attempt to connect cruise passengers who travel through the terminal to what they’ll see aboard a ship — the sea, the shore and the sky. “It’s like a passenger going on a cruise ship as it leaves the ripples behind in its wake,” Cortada explained. “Or the passenger getting on a ship and leaving their problems behind.” To learn more, please visit https://hibiscusgallery.com/artwork/port-everglades/starfish-shuffle-port-everglades/
