The Stages of Finding, 2023–2024
The ongoing series reflects my transition from London to Berlin in 2022. Its title conveys the process of settling into a new city and expressing an unsteady emotional journey through a collection of representational sculptures.
The series commenced with Pulse, followed by Grab, Seed, and most recently, Drift and Reach.
These pieces are my efforts to give physical form to recollections and experiences of movement and displacement. Unable to fully express myself through the various languages I speak, I started exploring new forms of expression to transcend cultural barriers. Through my work, I aim to capture and communicate the complexities of my multicultural identity and the nuanced experiences that come with it.
I seek to embody the emotional responses and personal experiences, using whimsical, sugar-coated textures to juxtapose raw, honest emotions with abstract, concentrated forms. These works are heavy yet hollow, hanging on the wall like monumental reliefs, telling universal stories of self-discovery.
