Veronica Habib | Artist

Veronica Habib is a multidisciplinary artist who fashions her work with themes concerning body image, shame and sexuality. She explores her subject matter through the conduit of clothing and how this in turn, relates to sensory perception. Veronica plays on the reveal and conceal nature of clothing to create performative and interactive garments, challenging her audiences perceptions as they associate their actions with violation, pleasure, destruction and play.

VESTIGES

A series of investigative photographs documenting signs of trauma that stem from Diaspora (2012) – a commemorative performance based on intergenerational empathy for victims of WWI and WWII. Vestiges is an attempt to reconnect with the lost, offering a means of reflection on the past. The remnants of clothing act as a metaphor for identity and history that has now been destroyed.
