Navarro’s work is best characterized by the use of optical phenomena such as neons, mirrors, and light to convey politically charged messages. His subject matter of electricity references it as a tool of torture and execution at time of Chilean dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. In ‘Mirage’, the viewer can see themselves in the black mirror, framed with infinite yellow light bulbs. Within this work, Navarro has formed a miniature black hole where everything seems to collapse into oblivion.
