5U Space is pleased to present its eighth exhibition, Daniel Diasgranados, Dust: A Wandering. Drawing from ongoing projects begun during the COVID-19 pandemic, seven photographs confront a moment in US history defined by rupture and disorientation. Here, memories of an adolescent past, spent carefree in public parks, are revisited and re-visioned in present-day Maryland, Virginia, and Florida. Friends appear outdoors, shuteye, or in thought — powerful acts of resistance against a world demanding productivity, attention, and obedience. Rather than comply, the artist offers stillness; rather than resolution, the images hold space for ambiguity and reflection. Central to the work is an ongoing inquiry: how does a place change over time, and how does memory shape our continued relationship to it?

-Daniel Diasgranados

Daniel Diasgranados (b. 1996) is an artist working in photography from Prince George’s County, Maryland. He creates longform, serial bodies of work that interrogate themes of the sublime, the surreal and memory. Central to his practice is a deep engagement with the mechanisms of individual and collective memory, examining how these narratives are constructed, fragmented, and shared. He holds a BFA in photography from Virginia Commonwealth University.
