Objects resembling legs and lower-body extremities appear throughout my work, alluding to the disembodied figure. These small bodily forms hang from the wall in shifting configurations, creating clusters of partial presences. Their fragmented nature evokes a state of non-belonging—an existence without a defined ground or place to stand.

Beyond their formal arrangement, these sculptural works trace the emotional and physical experience of displacement. Approached from a personal perspective, they reflect the continual negotiation of identity that unfolds when moving between geographies, cultures, and stages of life. The anonymous character of the forms, stripped of individual markers, underscores this sense of shared condition, while their simplified silhouettes retain a visceral intimacy.

Each piece is finished in hues from the reddish spectrum, a palette that evokes both emotion and corporeality—blood, flesh, and the interiority of the body. Through this interplay of abstraction, fragmentation, and colour, the work seeks to articulate the tension between vulnerability and resilience at the core of migration and transformation.
