Artist Statement: Natalia Vega-Forero

Natalia Vega-Forero; Courtesy of the artist.

I feel the necessity to define what home is.

I want to understand the extraordinary labors of the self so I can recreate the material and sensitive substances of home.

I craft an identity by revealing the obsessions of an inner geography.I desire to repair the present by remembering the past, and make those that are absent visible.

I revive my language so I can celebrate an emotional and physical discomfort.

I am celebrating the personal so I can understand the universal.
