[…] Ukaigwe examines complex social structures through an empathetic lens that is both insatiably curious and persistently community-minded. Ukaigwe’s practice uplifts those around him while also sharing an intimate piece of himself.”

“How does the surface shape engage with the material world? How do some surfaces come to be considered permanent while others permeable? How does the idea of a surface translate to the digital realm? How did the surface become understood as a metaphor for a (lack of) profundity of knowledge? How is the surface implicated in the status of the image itself, as a support or as a medium?”
