Sarah UjmaiaOf Particle and Wave

Sarah Ujmaia, Covalent Structure (detail) 2022–23, graphite on paper, 59.6 x 40.7 cm, courtesy of the artist

Sarah Ujmaia is a first-generation Chaldean artist living and working on unceded Wurundjeri/Woiwurrung and Boon Wurrung/Bunurong lands. Her practice is informed by the wide-reaching impacts of forced displacement and cultural re-writing related to the diasporic experience. Applying translational processes, she regenerates motifs, images and linguistic structures in her material-led approach to object making. Of Particle and Wave presents a series of high-lustre graphite drawings and a sculptural installation of terracotta coils, which collectively contemplate the colonial treatment of minority languages, and the potential of cultural continuation through visual mediums.
