Caught in Disasters overlays early 2000s paintings of vulnerable male bodies with translucent “Goya veils” inspired by his Caprichos and Desastres de la guerra. These layered works merge three temporal moments—Goya’s witness to collapse, the fading political narratives of 2005/06, and today’s renewed nationalism. The veil becomes a membrane and a mirror, turning each image into a palimpsest of memory : history does not disappear; it resurfaces.
