STILL MORE FRAGILE
ABOUT THE PROJECT:
In Still More Fragile, Luján Candria creates a site-specific, immersive environment embracing the quiet stillness that sits below the ocean’s surface while waves crash above. The installation brings together layered translucent photographic textiles in deep, soothing blues and greens of waters gently shifting and overlapping. As viewers move through the work, they enter a realm that feels deep, evoking the calm and suspended moment when submerged in still waters and all the world is quiet.
The ocean is not only a visual presence but a metaphor for memory itself. Memories, like the ocean, are vast, elusive, and constantly in motion. Like the depths of the sea, memory can feel tranquil yet disorienting, tender yet immense. In this softened darkness, the work invites a humble pause—a space to reflect on how our memories shape our inner landscape and a tranquil moment that mirrors the fluidity of memory, always changing, slightly elusive, and full of quiet wonder.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Luján Candria is a Miami-based Argentine artist. She graduated in Sculpture from the Universidad Nacional de las Artes (UNA) and holds an Associate Degree from the Escuela Nacional de Cerámica. She also studied Applied Musical Computer Science at Fonorama and Image Editing at Mac Training Center (UNTREF), all in Buenos Aires.
Her multidisciplinary practice explores the fragmented and mutable nature of memory, using poetic visual language across photography, video, textiles, and installations. Her work reflects the fluidity of identity, the enduring power of nature, and the delicate interplay between memory and perception. It invites exploration of the nuances of existence and the beauty found within the ever-shifting landscapes of our lives.
Candria was awarded The Ellies Creator Award from Oolite Arts (2025) and the Artist Access Grant from the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and FUNDarte. She has also received the Miami Individual Artists Grant (2023–2024), the Locust Projects–Andy Warhol Foundation Miami Artist Relief Fund, the MAS! Artist Grant, and the Oolite Arts Relief Fund (2020).
