 Veronica IbarguĚengoitiaâs Nuestras Huellas en Esta Tierra /Our Footprints on This Land Through September 5, 2025
Nuestras Huellas en Esta Tierra offers a powerful meditation on migration, belonging, and the traces we leave upon the land. Through immersive installations, Veronica IbarguĚengoitia explores the psychological toll of displacement and the resilience of those who cross unfamiliar territories.
Grounding uses materials from the U.S.âMexico borderlands and the EuropeanâAfrican migration corridor, alongside water from the Gulf of Mexico, evoking memory and the connection between body and land.
Otherness features a delicate arrangement of eggshells, exploring shifting perceptions of identity in liminal spaces.
Fence reimagines the U.S.âMexico border as a symbolic presence, capturing the borderâs impression through blind embossing, transforming it into a tactile memory of passage and resilience.
Universal Moving, Mobilization is a reality; humans are constantly migrating. I use cardboard boxes to contain the self; the contents are not physical objects but ephemeral. I work with the liminal space between the adaptation process and longing, where the self is reconstructed from the disrupted identity when uprooted.
