About the Artwork:
Exploring our heritage and the buried connections and histories therein is a great way to explore the epic adventure of one’s identity – however it is not necessarily what defines us. Writing one’s own story is important – whether that is influenced by the past or not.
About the Artist:
(Artist Bio)
kEda is inspired by contemporary/lowbrow and pop surrealist movement, which finally “allowed” for the exploration and indulgence in other forms of artistic expression.
Apart from exploration in concepts of identity and gaining a sense of permission to associate with various cultures (of one’s birthplace), kEda is also fascinated (more like obsessed) with myths and fairy tales. They are a constant source of inspiration and reference helping to explain complex (modern) moral and social topics. Along with various other childhood elements such as toys and games, finding that the innocence creates both a palatable and a potent dichotomy when handling everyday topics in politics, identity, and society.
