Description

This collection of eight digital sculptures is inspired by Dia al-Azzawi’s grandson, Freddie, whose enthusiasm for playing and interacting with the world around him is a source of constant joy for him. The work captures this enthusiasm in the form of a toy that any young child might want to play with, which also reflects the energy and passion of youth itself. In Dia’s own words: “I wanted to create a body of work that captures a young child’s energy using the traditional shapes and colours I grew up with. By embracing this connection between the old and the new, the (Freddie collection) allows me to leave a piece of my childhood in the metaverse for future generations to enjoy.”
