NADA Curated by Fitsum Shebeshe

This work, as the “title” suggests, is about my contradictions—but also about being an artist led by impulse and instinct. I have urges, thoughts, and desires that I try to conceal because they don’t align with what is deemed acceptable by the audience. And yet, those very feelings are the fuel of my art. Should I suppress them? Should I discard them? The answer is clear: I choose to reveal them, unapologetically and without shame.

This is my declaration of war against censorship and societal standards.
