Garcia's photo-based practice explores the processes that drive erasure, decay, and replication of form. Touching on history, colonialism, and the consequences of technology, his work centers on the paradoxical relationship between creation and destruction. His photo compositions act as networks of symbols using placement and layered juxtaposition to imbue found materials with new meanings.

The artwork’s varied references–from ancient ruins, celestial objects, to modern technology–elicit the sublime while provoking reflection on the meaning of human progress.

Garcia studied Sculpture at Pratt Institute. His work has been shown at N.A.S.A.L. (MX), SculptureCenter (NY), and Aro (MX). He lives and works between New York and Mexico City.
