About the Exhibition
Oliva Gallery is proud to present Osamenta, a powerful photographic exhibition by Herminio Rodríguez that captures the profound socio-economic struggles and resilience of Puerto Rico.


Over six years, Rodríguez documented abandoned industrial zones, shuttered businesses, and crumbling government infrastructure across Puerto Rico’s municipalities, Vieques, and Culebra. These haunting images offer a quiet yet urgent meditation on economic collapse, displacement, and survival.


Through Osamenta, Rodríguez elevates the physical and emotional weight of Puerto Rico’s landscape, inviting viewers to reflect on the intersection of place, history, and resistance.
