Fharid LaTorre (b. 1999) is an artist currently based in Miami. He received his BFA from The Cooper Union in 2022 and works primarily in sculpture. His practice explores the beginning point of fracturing, where rupture, healing, and regeneration coexist, examining moments of capture and the (non)consensual illusions that stabilize them. Through materially driven forms informed by medical and industrial systems, his work evokes altered anatomical responses and mutations outside individual control, shaped by infrastructures of extraction and circulation that interpenetrate human life at both massive and molecular scales. He thinks of mutation as a form of contamination, where an intangible pressure begins to take physical shape, and returns often to what resists capture: the swelling, the misread scan, the structure a body builds without being asked.
