b. Colombia; lives and works in Miami, USA

Ana Vergara creates sculptural installations that reflect on the relationship between place, identity and memory. Informed by her experience as a Colombian immigrant in the United States, her work explores how urban spaces are shaped by cycles of change, including migration, redevelopment and displacement. Using found construction materials and images drawn from domestic and everyday environments, she builds layered surfaces that suggest both structural and emotional fragmentation. Her recent work draws on the language of painting, translating spatial concerns into flat, image-bearing forms that speak to the tension between personal history and collective transformation.
