Statement
Vega’s work explores memories through the allegory of weaving, both literally and metaphorically. Trained in experimental graphic design and with vast experience in the fashion industry, she is constantly bridging the gap between handmade and digital media. The ancient weaving knowledge from her Wayuu lineage has allowed her to define the artistic practice in terms of sustainability while exploring the relevance of traditional systems in a contemporary context.
