Fragments of the Landscape: Memory in Migration weaves together layers of archival documents, text, and imagery to explore the incompleteness and fragility of memory. The work holds 10–12 layers of stories, written in both Spanish and English, that are partially visible and partially obscured, inviting viewers to trace what can be seen while acknowledging what is hidden. This fragmentation mirrors the selective preservation of history and the gaps left by migration, displacement, and generational storytelling. The piece asks: How do we reconstruct identity from scattered traces? What is remembered, and what is carried forward silently?
