Edward Gia is an artist from New York, NY. His work maps emotional terrain shaped by Ecuadorian-Mexican American identity. Spanning family archives, self-portraits, marked texts, and slow gestures of care, his practice stitches together diasporic memory and personal myth, traversing liminal spaces between fiction and autobiography. His work touches on migration, inheritance, and the ache of generational silence, anchoring themes of longing and resilience. It folds everyday experiences into poetic image-making, installation, and archival layering, forming layered constellations that invite viewers to explore the complexities of identity and belonging.
