Ruth Asawa’s Wire Sculptures in Conversation with Light
Ruth Asawa’s delicate wire sculptures float like living geometry in this quiet corner of SFMOMA. Suspended in space, they cast dreamy shadows on the white walls behind them, doubling their presence in soft, ephemeral forms. Asawa’s hand-woven mesh shapes evoke seed pods, water droplets, and organic rhythms—a dance between nature and abstraction. The installation invites you to slow down, look closely, and feel the grace in repetition. It’s a deeply human act of seeing: noticing the way light passes through form, the space between gestures, the hush of a museum moment where art breathes in stillness.
