Acrylic image transfer onto two sheets of corrugated zinc

The piece is an archival family photograph transferred onto two rusted sheets of found corrugated zinc. The material’s texture evokes the erosion of time and the uncertainty of childhood memories shaped by migration. The blurred figures in the photograph invite reinterpretation, allowing me to reconstruct a narrative that may diverge from actual events. This piece questions the reliability of memory and how distance—both temporal and geographical—alters our recollections. It reflects the process of constructing a diasporic reality from fragmented memories where truth is fluid, shaped as much by absence and imagination as by fact.

About the artist

Ernesto Cabral de Luna
Etobicoke, Ontario

Ernesto Cabral de Luna is a Mexican lens-based artist working in Toronto. His work explores the fragmentary nature of memory—individual and collective—by manipulating alternative histories and printing onto found scrap materials through digital and analog experimental processes. Interested in narratives of migration, his practice examines the interplay between memory, dislocation, and displacement, particularly in the context of exile. His work centres around altering perception – providing new ways to experience recognizable imagery in unconventional manners and outside of their intended purpose. Ernesto received his Honours BFA in Photography from OCAD University in 2024.
