AKKAF / ARTIST STATEMENT

Material, memory, experience

My practice transforms textile into sculptural presence. Working with lace, net fabric, and embroidery, I cast fragile domestic materials in resin—preserving softness while altering their physical state.

The works exist between protection and exposure, beauty and rupture. Through repetition and material accumulation, I explore how feminine labor and bodily memory shape identity over time.

By solidifying delicate surfaces into spatial forms, the work examines vulnerability as a structural condition—how what is often invisible gains weight and permanence.
