Visuals from the Ruth Asawa Retrospective at SFMOMA
A quiet, reverent study of texture, shadow, and presence in Ruth Asawa: Retrospective. This photo and video series captures select works spanning more than six decades of Asawa’s career—presented in one of the year’s most thoughtfully installed exhibitions. Honored to document the legacy of an artist who transformed wire into poetry.
“As an artist, Asawa forged a groundbreaking practice through her ceaseless exploration of materials and forms. As an educator and civic leader, Asawa’s impact on San Francisco can still be felt today.” - SFMOMA
