EXPOSED

Project type

Sculpture

Date

2020

Location

Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute

In 2020, Denise Zubizarreta’s sculpture Exposed was featured at the Art of Possibilities group exhibition at the Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute in Minneapolis, MN. This poignant work vividly depicts the intestinal tract of Zubizarreta’s body, reflecting her personal battle with ulcerative colitis. Accompanied by medical supplies essential for IV infusions, including empty Remicade bottles and simulated blood, Exposed offers an unfiltered glimpse into the physical toll of living with a chronic illness.

Through this sculpture, Zubizarreta brings attention to the often hidden realities of managing a long-term condition, creating a dialogue that confronts both the medical and emotional aspects of vulnerability and resilience. By sharing her deeply personal experience, Exposed serves as a powerful statement on health, identity, and the intersection of art and personal advocacy.
