ABRHM [ Angel Escobar-Rodas ] is a trained architect and artist, that works between cultural memory, spatial inquiry, and material experimentation. Born in Los Angeles to refugee parents, his practice is rooted in dualities; navigating the interstices of language, identity, and geography. The in-between informs his conceptual and formal investigations across media.

ABRHM’s perspective is shaped by a trajectory that spans multiple, often contrasting worlds. He has worked as a construction laborer alongside immigrant tradespeople, served as a U.S. Navy mechanic deployed to humanitarian and geopolitical events across the globe, and later entered the unfamiliar terrain of academia as a first-generation college student.

Engaging painting, sculpture, installation, publication, and architecture, ABRHM’s work explores the poetics of place and the phenomenology of pause. His approach foregrounds color, form, and spatial composition as tools for generating reflective environments—thresholds where embodied memory, displacement, and belonging are rendered palpable.
