Turkson's multidisciplinary practice, encompassing sculpture, mixed media, and digital collage, focuses on the human body as a site of transformation. Turkson examines how inherited biases, societal pressures, and even dietary choices shape our physical forms. Her current digital collages construct new bodily forms from sourced imagery of things we consume or apply to ourselves. By layering these elements, she creates a direct visual metaphor for her core thesis: that identity is built from countless cultural, societal, and nutritional influences that are consumed. Her work challenges fixed notions of identity, presenting the body instead as a malleable archive, endlessly constructed from both natural and artificial forces. 1.

Enyonam's work investigates the intersection of sculpture and architecture. She engages with concepts of memory, space, and materiality, often working with cement and fabric to take moulds of architectural elements, particularly doors and structural surfaces. These imprints serve not as direct reproductions, but as subtle translations that explore presence, absence, and the passage of time. By drawing from lived and built environments, Fusese reimagines architecture as more than structure, seeing it instead as a vessel that carries emotional weight and personal histories. Her practice invites viewers to consider the tactile and intimate connections we form with the spaces we inhabit, and the quiet stories embedded in their surfaces. 1.

Jessica's practice engages with themes of memory, ancestry, and transformation. Working across painting, photography, and digital manipulation, she develops hybrid works that merge tactile and digital processes. She prepares her canvases by pouring and splashing colour surfaces, onto which she transfers images digitally and incorporates mandala patterns. Her recent body of works titled “Beyond Mandala; Where Colours Speak” (2025) expands on her ongoing interest in colour as a form of communication and spiritual grounding. This layered approach creates a visual language where colour, texture, and pattern become metaphors for interconnectedness, cycles of life, and the shifting nature of identity. 1.

Okyere's practice is informed by scientific research, ecological thought and science fiction. He questions and interrogates what it means to live in a world massively constituted by other worlds and beings. This fuels his research and practice, which often leads to the creation of unidentified and entangled forms ranging from installations, paintings, sounds, animation and sensory forms of art. 1. Title: Thrownness, 2025. Diptych Medium: Oil, Steel pipe, on canvas. Dimension: 52.8 × 85.32 inch 2. Title: A thousand stones, 2025. Diptych Medium: Acrylic, Steel pipe and rhinestone on canvas. Dimension: 52.8 × 85.32 inch 3. The Continents, 2025. Medium: Oil, steel pipe, Acrylic, scarf, beads on canvas. Dimension: 72 ×72 inch.
