// Árbol embarazador by León Ferrari, a lithograph created in 2009, combines text and imagery in a thought-provoking composition. At the center, a small black-and-white photograph of a fetus serves as a focal point, surrounded by densely packed, hand-drawn text that curves around it. Ferrari’s use of flowing, handwritten text blurs the boundaries between visual art and literature, suggesting themes of life, creation, and perhaps societal reflection on pregnancy and existence. The artwork’s minimalistic, monochromatic style emphasizes introspection and invites the viewer to engage closely with both the image and the words, unraveling the layers of meaning Ferrari has embedded within.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
