LATEX WEARABLE Artist Edition II The latex masks and wearables exist as both artist editions and custom commissions. Already made or created through a collaborative process; shaped by and for one body. These masks and wearables are meant to transform and be embodied.

In this ongoing project, I work with latex to explore how boundaries between body, material, and identity can be shifted and re-imagined. Functioning as a second skin, latex protects, transforms, and speculates on new possibilities of embodiment beyond traditional definitions of humanity. The images show portraits of transformation: hybrid beings formed through ‘creaturization’, where body and wearable merge into new forms that resist binaries and fixed meaning. The wearables alter perception, sensation, and presence, activating a state of becoming where identity can be explored. Latex carries a history of rebellion and subcultural expressions of becoming, which aligns closely with my own research. In a world that polices bodies and self-expression, these works propose alternative futures: fluid, self-authored, and powerful. Model @iva.iva___ Photographer @gretawindfuhr @izzy__waller

It’s almost been a year since I moved to berlin. I’ve met a lot of wonderful, inspiring and talented people. And I’ve had multiple opportunities to share my philosophy and work with others. It’s been a good decision to change my surroundings and restart. I can’t wait to continue working on my ongoing project ‘Forgotten Bodies’ and my new mask and material experimentations with latex. 2026 will be filled with exciting new stuff!

My work ‘Forgotten Bodies’ on show at @see_our_vision gallery as a part of ‘Hypersensitive Resistance’. My new project ‘Forgotten Bodies’ is a work in progress and a visual exploration of post-human rebirth in the aftermath of destruction and loss. Rooted in the ongoing war and genocide in Gaza, it reflects on how humanity has forgotten how to belong to the world, and how violence and greed take hold when we turn away. Yet what remains is not only ruin, it is the quiet persistence of transformation and growth. Human matter becomes fertile ground for renewal. Moss, fungi, and microbes reclaim flesh and bones, forming networks of care, communication, and regeneration, dissolving the boundary between human and non-human. Human matter co-creates itself through its entanglement with other forms of life, emerging as a hybrid entity. A shift toward new forms of life, identity, and connection unfolds. The work challenges a worldview that treats both Earth and human life as disposable. Nature does not waste, in contrast it remembers, heals, connects, and restores, carrying the forgotten back into the cycle of life. Humans and non-humans are participants in a shared process of becoming, where bodies and ecosystems co-constitute one another.

My work was on show @see_our_vision gallery as a part of ‘Contemporary faces’ The work explores the human subject as a dynamic, ever-changing being, shaped by both internal and external forces. Through the act of masking and material intervention, Waller destabilizes the physical exterior of the body, creating moments of chaos and ambiguity in which perception falters and agency is questioned By testing the boundaries between body and material, self and other, the work generates estrangement, unsettling familiar narratives of how we define and use the human body. Through manipulation, experimentation, and a probing of material limits, the artist opens up new possibilities for understanding the shifting relationship between masks, bodies, and identity. A big thank you to the curators @visionerka.v @lera_dobrinec @lzedka
