Ana Alenso's artistic practice addresses the social and environmental impacts of extractivism, global resource politics, and the trade of precious metals and fossil fuels. Alenso's new sculptural installation Deepwater Horizon (2023) deals with the ocean as a resource, specifically with the exploration and extraction of fossil fuels through deep-sea mining. The work originates in a blowout and its aftermath in 2010 on the eponymous BP-operated drilling platform in the Gulf of Mexico.
