“My uncle tells my mom that he wants to get a car. I think that he misses being on the road. The freedom that comes with it. And that’s how I’ll always remember him. As the one who told me that I am so much like my mom as he ran his hands through my hair.”

“Stories were living inside us. I think we were born to tell our stories. After we died, our stories would survive. Maybe it was our stories that fed the universe the energy it needed to keep on giving life.
Maybe all we were meant to do on this earth was to keep on telling stories. Our stories-and the stories of the people we loved.”

Edward Gia is an artist based in New York, NY. His work maps the emotional terrain shaped by his Ecuadorian Mexican American identity. Spanning family archives, self-portraits, marked texts, and slow gestures of care his practice stitches together diasporic memory and personal myth that traverses the liminal spaces between fiction and autobiography touching on migration, inheritance, and the ache of intergenerational silence. His work anchors themes of longing and resilience within the folds of the everyday through poetic image-making, installation, and archival layering forming layered constellations.
Their work has been exhibited in Photoville, Der Grief, The Lucie Foundation, among others. He has been an artist-in-residence at the Mexic-Arte Museum.
He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a focus in Photography & Video from the School of Visual Arts (2020) and has a Master of Fine Arts degree in Studio Art from The University of Texas at Austin (2026).
