After returning to Miami in the early 1980s, Consuegra's work morphed into bright, geometric metal sculptures that portray a synthesis of movement and architectural equilibrium. Hard edges and poignant shapes depicted the dynamics of a city consumed by the narco era — the infamous Mutiny Club and the TV show Miami Vice depicted a time of depersonalized excess where debauchery and murder controlled almost every corner of the city.

During these years, not only was Miami experiencing its narco war, but so too was the United States as it navigated the end of a 45-year Cold War with Russia. Consuegra's abstract geometric works from this period carry that tension — bold, angular forms that speak to an era of hard contrasts and uneasy balance.

These sculptures stand as a visual record of their time — the collision of architecture, politics, and the relentless energy of a city redefining itself.
