“The creation of my work revolves around memory and identity,” Adriana Espinosa Calle says, pointing to the facts, protagonists, and physical spaces—be they personal or historical—that form a unique life. Espinosa Calle is interested in the traces left behind, particularly those of people in American continents , from the petroglyph to the bar code. Her mixed-media drawings combine travel documents with portraiture, watercolors, and scattered symbols. Ultimately, she would like her drawings to inspire reflection on the importance of origin in the construction of identity.
