"Shock and Awe" (2024) by Pedro AMOS and Sara Barengo, was showcased in AMOS' solo exhibition "Take a Look at Yourself" during Miami Art Week. This painting features three women from diverse cultural backgrounds, their faces sharing expression of shock, horror, and fear. The source of their unease is left deliberately ambiguous, inviting viewers to conclude their own interpretations. This mystery complements the "Triggered" piece in the Conflict Room. The meticulous attention to detail in the physical features and body language intensifies the tension. This piece powerfully explores the universality of human emotion and complexities of collective experience.
