WE KNEW THE WORLD IN FRAGMENTS OF COLOR
——VICTORIA RUIZ
Now on view at Faena New York, We Knew the World in Fragments of Color by Victoria Ruiz explores how living between worlds can transform the way we see, remember, and belong. Drawing from Latin American symbolism, spirituality, and an intensely chromatic visual language, Ruiz creates a series of handcrafted full-body suits that become vessels for memory, identity, and collective experience. In ten photographs, figures emerge against saturated fields of color, each composition carrying its own language and presence. Together, the works trace successive moments in Venezuela’s recent history, transforming personal and political realities into a vivid meditation on memory, displacement, survival, and belonging.
