Abstract
In this body of work, the artist speaks to the complexities of our lived experiences. By exploring fragmented narratives, layered identities, and the interplay of memory and forgetting, the artist invites us to reconsider not only what we remember, but how we remember. The work challenges us to question where personal agency ends and institutional power begins, reflecting on how silence, bureaucracy, and complicity uphold structural violence, leaning into the banality of evil to balance the post-modern drift. Rather than offering fixed answers, the artist presents fragments, ambiguities, and ruptures, urging the viewer to co-author meaning and engage in ongoing dialogue about identity, memory, power, and experience. Repetition is vital and crucial in certain contexts, it creates familiarity, yet can also be questioned.
