Mareiwa Miller (b. 1994, Santa Marta, Colombia) is a sculptor and visual artist working in San Francisco. Their work delves into their multiracial roots, intertwining narratives spanning their Wayuu, White-Black, and Jewish heritage. Through sculpture and installation, Miller excavates and revisits the stories embedded in the fabric of each of these cultures. Using metal, glass, and ceramics, Miller reshapes these threads, crafting a reimagined narrative that merges mediums and ancestral echoes to decode the past and reimagine the present. Simultaneously, Miller’s work probes the expanded essence of “sacred,” drawing from diverse interpretations including daily rituals, religious beliefs, nature, and societal structures.
