Martinez's blown glass water balloons are suspended moments—fragile forms filled with visual weight and emotional pressure. Their vibrant colors and playful reference points draw from pop culture, but their precariousness speaks to impermanence and illusion. They invite you to ask: What is softness? What is danger? What is real?
