Julie Mehretu’s work often implies a sense of history, a poignant visualization of macro and micro influences that result in a displacement of places, people, and communities. Drawing on the intense nature of change, each of her works is specific in identity, tone, and mood yet reveals neither cause nor consequence of change. In Untitled, Mehretu’s characteristic vocabulary of dynamic lines over deconstructed geometries solicits the question, “What’s happening here?” but evades a definitive response, except to note that something is changing.
