Dahlia Dreszer is a Panamanian multidisciplinary and photo-based artist living and working in Miami whose practice explores identity, memory, cultural heritage, and the evolving meaning of home.

Working across large-format photography, immersive installation, fiber, and emerging technology, Dreszer creates richly layered environments that blur the boundaries between reality and artifice. Her compositions bring together flowers, family heirlooms, textiles, folk art, and domestic spaces, transforming familiar objects into visual narratives about migration, belonging, and the ways culture is carried across generations.

Rooted in her Latin American and Jewish heritage, Dreszer’s work reflects the experience of navigating between cultures and constructing a sense of home across diasporas. Her ongoing Bringing the Outside In series challenges traditional still-life photography by building elaborate, multidimensional worlds where personal memory intersects with broader cultural histories.

Technology has also become an extension of Dreszer’s exploration of identity and preservation. Her project Clone Dahlia uses an AI-generated version of herself to examine simulated presence, adaptation, and the possibility of preserving memory through technology—an exploration that has brought her work into the larger conversation surrounding artificial intelligence and contemporary art.

Dreszer has exhibited in Miami and internationally, including solo presentations in the United States, Panama, and Colombia.

Through photography, installation, and technology, Dreszer creates spaces where past and present collide—asking us to reconsider what we preserve, what we inherit, and what ultimately makes a place feel like home.
