Elements of Kenny Rivero's childhood growing up in the Washington Heights neighborhood of New York City collide with an invented mythology in Steward (Porter Doll). In this fantastical scene, a shirtless figure adorned in a helmet channels energy through a tiny flame held in the palm of his hand. The helmet doubles as a potted vessel growing crystals that receive the flame's power. The lifeless doll-like figure slumped against the wall sports a porter's uniform like the one Rivero wore as a doorman in the Gramercy Park neighborhood, down to the workman's glove lined with red rubber. The doll and the central figure share ill-fitting shadows. Behind them are portals: one a gate enclosing a brick wall, and the other, an opening to a celestial realm.
