Description
Jai is a figurative ceramic sculptor creating works about human identities, behaviour and emotions using anthropomorphic creatures. Reflecting on their queer and transgender identity, Jai creates sculptures which uplift LGBTQ+ communities as well as challenge and analyze the dominant heteronormative and cisgendered society. Jai’s sculptures speak to a feeling of otherness, not through visible physical traits, but through the hidden aspects of identity. The zoomorphic qualities of their sculptures shed light on those human characteristics hidden from the naked eye. As each animal comes with its own unique qualities, as well as the myths and stories associated with them, when anthropomorphized, their addition to the human form creates a deeper understanding of that individual’s persona and experiences.
