Izabel Della Siepe is a Canadian, Italian and Salvadoran artist whose work tends towards themes of family, what constitutes home, and the very nature of what bridges people together. She explores these concepts through long-form relational projects that intersect diaristic and documentary practice.

Her image series, SALVADORA, was made through repeated visits to her mother’s birthplace in San Salvador, El Salvador. It is an attempt to move towards an understanding of her mother, her upbringing, and how familial relationships are touched by the rippled effects of displacement due to civil conflict and its aftermath.

Her work will be exhibited at Whippersnapper from June 3 to 15 as a part of DOC NOW 2026.

Opening Night: June 4, 6-9pm.
