The Ball II is the second artwork of a triptych made by Paola Estrella. This triptych presents a series of hybrid creatures attending a Ball in a parallel dimension. For decades, balls or house cultures, have been spaces for experimentation and self-expression where elaborate performances incorporating and commenting on race, class and gender historically reflect and exteriorize desires, dreams and one’s exclusions from these.
