b. Colombia; lives and works in Miami, USA

Ana Vergara's work reflects the relationship between space and place and its consequences on 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 construction materials and images drawn from domestic and everyday environments (particularly sourced from found materials or family archives), she builds layered surfaces that suggest both structural and emotional fragmentation. Her recent work translates spatial concerns into flat, image-bearing forms that speak to the tension between personal history and collective transformation.
