Born in Miami, FL to Cuban exiles, Victoria Ravelo's practice begins at the intersection of personal, ancestral, and collective memory. Her drawings, photographs, sculptures and installations utilize abstraction and metaphor to tease apart the multilayered histories that form a time and place. Contending with the tension between what is lost and what can only be remembered, Ravelo’s work simultaneously explores, connects, and cultivates cultural roots that modern society actively works to erase.
