Fragments That Hold
Small Objects Gallery | 1 August - 25 September 2025
Artist: Jude Muduioa
Medium: Ceramics
Fragments That Hold explores identity as something fluid, shaped by migration, memory, and community. Working from the ceramicist's immigrant experience of moving between cultures, these pieces emerge from in-between spaces where new forms of belonging take shape.
Clay sits at the heart of this practice. Like the migrant experience, it's soft, transformable, shaped by pressure, and refined through process until it becomes something enduring. Through atmospheric firing, communal and unpredictable, each piece carries marks of shared labor and beautiful imperfection.
These works honour the quiet strength of integration and the fragile connections that bind us. They invite reflection on identity not as something fixed, but as inherited, shared, and continually becoming, exploring how we belong to ourselves, each other, and the places we call home.
