Artist Bio
(b. 1998, Indonesia)
Dzikra’s practice encourages a dialogue of shared human condition, identity and resilience through drawings, installations and a series of figurative sculptures that exists in a state between bodily-formedand deformity . Most of her works using stoneware clay begin with modeling process. At this stage the solid sculpture’s body are hollowed through a digging process which left behind the outer surface of the sculpture. This carving action turns the sculpture into a distorted bodily form which exposes and emphasizes the significance of negativespace—the areas surrounding and within the forms. Dzikra’s approach to the whole process of creation opens up her works into a wider narrative that speak through both form and materiality.
She was recently awarded a joint-honorary winner in the 8th BaCAA (2024).
