En la profundidad de la bruma (In the Depth of the Mist) marks Hernandez’s third solo exhibition with STATION and continues her poignant exploration of memory and identity. As a Venezuelan woman living in Australia, Nadia reflects on the experience of bearing witness to the loss of home, intertwining personal history with broader cultural narratives. Drawing from a December 1985 issue of a local Venezuelan newspaper, Hernández revisits an interview with her great-grandfather, Juan de la Cruz Devies, a truck driver whose life was forever altered by an evening encounter whilst driving. The artist delves into the non-linear nature of this transformative event, using it as a lens to reflect on her own artistic journey and the intersection of memory and history.


Nadia Hernández’s multi-disciplinary practice reflects a process of bearing witness to the loss of home and the symbolic power of memory and memorialisation. Informed by her experience as a Venezuelan woman living in Australia, and positioning herself both within and outside the Latinx diaspora, Hernández makes art as a means to connect with a sense of place that exists beyond psy- chic and geographic boundaries. She negotiates complex narratives, weaving the personal and the political, to create a highly recognisable visual language expressed through colourful textiles, paper constructions, paintings, music, installations, sculptures, and murals. Her works weave together the complexities of memory, despair, hope and reconciliation, reminding us that these opposing sensations often co-exist.
