Noemi Nieves-Hoblin

My artistic practice is a continuous exploration of layered objects and sculptures, centered on themes of biracial identity and Puerto Rican culture. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, I use traditional glassblowing techniques and botanical imagery to create work that operate as vehicles for storytelling. Glass, with its enduring nature, becomes more than a medium, it serves as a tangible vessel for preserving memories, ancestral narratives, and traditions passed down orally through generations. Through the materiality of glass, I convey the nuanced tension and suspension inherent in biracial identity, symbolizing the liminal space occupied by those of mixed heritage.
