Doris Salcedo is a Colombian artist known for her powerful sculptures and installations that address themes of trauma, loss, and memory. Born in 1958 in Bogotá, she often draws inspiration from the violence and political turmoil in her home country, using her art to explore the impact of conflict on individuals and communities. Her notable works include Shibboleth, a large crack in the floor of the Tate Modern in London, and Atrabiliarios, which features a series of wooden chairs encased in translucent fabric. Salcedo's art invites viewers to reflect on the human experience and the scars left by history.
