"In a lot of spiritual practices, there’s a transitional space that you have to enter to devote yourself to your practice . . ." GeoVanna Gonzalez creates sleek structures and environments that invite intervention and participation. Inspired by Alice Coltrane's spiritual transformation, Gonzalez's Beneath the Sun, Lies the Wisdom Eye (2024) presents a stage that echoes the Coltrane home in Dix Hills, New York, a sanctuary for the family that fostered both spiritual growth and musical experimentation. The stage features elements and materials that draw on Coltrane's interior design and color choices, and serves as a sacred site for performance during the run of the exhibition.

In conjunction with the exhibition Alice Coltrane, Monument Eternal (2025).
