| Purpose of use |
The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key later body of work in Michael Arcega's career in the 2010s: his commissioned public sculptural artworks. These works explore cross-cultural exchange, sociopolitical dynamics and imbalances, and site-specific cultural markers embedded in objects, food, architecture, visual lexicons, or vernacular practices and languages. These permanent works have been commissioned by the San Francisco Arts Commission and city of Berkeley and often employ bright colors and nature-inspired motifs. Because the article is about an artist and his work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to understand this later stage and body of work, which brought Arcega continuing recognition through public presentation and coverage by major critics and publications. Arcega's work of this type and this series is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article. |
