Karla García is a Texas-based artist originally from Ciudad Juárez, México, whose sculptural installations are rooted in the landscapes of the desert borderlands. Working primarily with clay, García explores the ground as a living archive, honoring stories of resilience and our connection to the land. Her works, such as Flor Silvestre Sagrada and Escuchando el Suelo, merge natural forms with found materials to create symbolic offerings and spaces for ecological and cultural reflection. Through her practice, García reveals the sacred in the ordinary, fostering deeper awareness of the earth beneath us and the histories it holds.
