Born in 1993, the French artist of Ghanaian origin Kwama Frigaux collects the wastes that are everywhere in our intimate and collective lives - safety glass, plastic packaging, food grade aluminum, empty medication blister packs - to turn them into sensitive objects that question us.The use of those wastes from medicines are partly linked with personal identity as the artist has been facing health problems .
Collected, washed, painted, and assembled, these wastes, sometimes bearing traumatic stories, are transformed into sculptures, luminescent rugs, malleable stained glass, and installations. The arrangement of colors, playing with the translucent or opaque parts of the materials, the work of cutting and assembling, shifts the perspective we had on this waste and reconfigures a future for it, a potential evocative of other objects, other possible uses and functions that are more reparative of the world around us.
