Read MoreHannah Esquenazi is a Colombian artist and photographer based in Savannah, Georgia. Her work blends photography with mixed media—incorporating scans, handwritten text, and personal objects—to explore memory, perception, and the body as a site of emotional and archival weight. Her current series was sparked by a brief medical scare—quickly resolved thanks to science—but it left behind a lingering question: What if I could no longer see? This question became the entry point for a visual practice that seeks to document and preserve not just what is seen, but what is felt. Each image acts as a letter, an evolving correspondence between who she is, who left, and who is becoming.
At its core, the body becomes the most literal home: a vessel for memory and transformation, a meditation on home—not just as a physical place, but as something carried in the body. Her photographs function as evolving self-portraits, tracing personal history and the spaces we build from memory, bones, and presence.
Esquenazi is pursuing her BFA in Photography at SCAD, where she has participated in collaborative projects and curated exhibitions.
