Artist
Doris Salcedo
b. 1958 · Colombian
Doris Salcedo makes sculptures and installations that address political violence, mourning and disappearance in Colombia and beyond. Furniture, concrete, clothing, flowers and architecture become carriers of loss, often through materially restrained but emotionally charged interventions.
