For this show Luca has created three sculptures of found objects combined with watercolor and acrylic paintings. The pieces can be seen as three ghostly figures who personify the past and uncertain future of the farm where he grew up on St. Croix's south shore.

Two additional pieces, not included in the exhibition, also refer to vivid memories - although not necessarily the artist's own.

"These found objects and small paintings evoke memories of past experiences in an immediate environment," the artist says about these works. "Beams from an old cattle scalehouse at Longford, and artifacts found on Longford beach create elemental figures of the past. By combining textures and colors of a specific vicinity, a personal and/or historical sense of place is brought to life."
