Spanning fifteen years of image-making, Paola Calderón’s work is a testament to the ways photography can hold memory, place, and identity. Born in Washington, D.C. and grounded in the cultural roots of El Salvador and Guatemala, Calderón approaches her practice as both documentation and devotion—an ongoing dialogue with the landscapes, textures, and light that define Latin America.
This exhibition gathers photographs captured between 2010 and 2025 across Cuba, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Brazil. Each image reveals Calderón’s sensitivity to the quiet power of the everyday—the warmth of light, the vibrancy of color, the tactile presence of nature. Her lens offers more than observation; it is an invitation into a lived experience of longing and belonging.
What emerges is both a celebration and an evolution: the vision of a young artist searching for home, maturing into a body of work that honors memory while embracing growth. Calderón’s images remind us that home is not only a place, but also a feeling carried within us, alive in our connections to culture, family, and land.
