Nastassia Choi is an artist whose work focuses on the entanglement between the body, self and space. Her work is rooted in her on-going experiences with bodily injuries, which have developed into a desire to better understand her past and present identities, and how they are one in the same whilst individually occupying a different space and orientation. Through ceramic sculpture, oil paintings and fiber weaving, Choi responds to her ever-changing self and surroundings through abstraction and figuration to create a space for vulnerability and connection, blurring lines between the body, self and space to depict moments that feel deeply human.

Impermanence is the reality of every moment, and these moments of transition are a fertile space of possibility and potential. Transition, change, renewal, death, rebirth manifest through the depiction of the human body traversing through time by means of undulating, expressive forms that are oblique yet intimate. This thread is prevalent her various bodies of work, as she attempts to capture physical sensation, the instability of the body and the complexities of the human experience. Despite the fragmented anatomies and figurative gestures, the work remains abstract because it engages with something we can never fully define.
