David Ivo Ehimare (b. 1999) explores questions of identity construction, belonging, and stigmatization within contemporary social dynamics through sculpture, installation, and sound. His German-Nigerian heritage and multicultural upbringing have deeply influenced his perspective, which is enriched by the nuanced impacts of everyday social interactions. Ehimare’s work critically examines various forms of violence in interpersonal relationships, status symbols, and group dynamics, revealing their subtle presence in daily life.
Rooted in explorations of racial theory and contemporary design and inspired by the hip-hop album The Documentary by The Game, Ehimare’s multifaceted creative perspective enables him to examine the tension between conformity and individuality.
