Transplant conjures up images of surgery and B-movies in my head. For
the Transplant Show, through art, mind control and indeterminate
methods, I will be transplanting my humor, thoughts and imagery into
the viewers' heads.
Carlos Villagra
Transplant is what happens when an individual injects themselves in a
foreign environment in which he or she has to completely adapt and
create a whole new life for him or herself.There is a transformation
that takes place when this happens and the residue that is left behind
is what I want to portray through my work. Love, purpose,
environment, weather and friendship is but a few things that are
transplanted and consequently change the person into something
different and new. Good or bad this is irrelevant, the process is the
only thing that matters.

Being transplanted to me refers to my migration from the warm
southern hospitality's of Atlanta to the cold, grey self isolated
population of Cleveland and how my life has changed through the
process.
