- Sitter
- Portrait female
- Exhibition Label
- Muriel Hasbun was born and raised in El Salvador; her Paris-born mother came from a Polish-Jewish family, and her father from a Palestinian Christian family that settled in El Salvador in the early twentieth century. Against this complex backdrop, her photographs remind us of the rich histories that families weave. Her series “Santos y Sombras” (Saints and Shadows) addresses issues of personal identity and her national, ethnic, and religious heritage, buried beneath generations of assimilation and emigration. Drawing on “found objects” and mementos of her parents and grandparents, Hasbun’s multi-layered images are a reflection of her complicated background.
