Veronica Ibargüengoitia’s
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 Ibargüengoitia explores the psychological toll of displacement and the resilience of those who cross unfamiliar territories.

Grounding uses materials from the U.S.–Mexico borderlands and the European–African 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.–Mexico border as a symbolic presence, capturing the border’s 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.
