Artist Statement
Rooted in the context of migration and intersectional diasporic identity, I draw on my Hungarian-Romanian-British-Jamaican heritage to examine material and metaphorical remnants, uncovering their hidden meanings, memories and narratives that transcend rational boundaries.
My sculptures and installations blend digital sculpting with traditional craft processes to create hybrid structures. These works explore themes of hybrid identity and liminality, reflecting boundary-crossing states that challenge physical borders and cultural hegemonies. Through sensory interaction and spatial engagement, my current works invite viewers into a dynamic interplay of memory and identity, presenting bodies in motion that embody transience and playfulness.
Influenced by artists and theorists such as Jeffrey Gibson, Ibrahim Mahama, and Stuart Hall, my work reclaims materials historically denigrated as craft and contemporarily dismissed as waste to monumentalise overlooked people and narratives. Addressing issues of racial stereotyping, cultural synchronisation and unification, my practice provides a space where personal and collective histories converge. It seeks to foster a deeper understanding of our shared and entangled humanity, emphasising the interconnectedness of individual and collective experiences.
In dialogue with contemporary artists like Yinka Shonibare, Tavares Strachan and Ndidi Dike, my work contributes to a collective critique of dominant cultural narratives and power structures, offering my perspective and amplifying marginalised voices to tell my side of the story.
