Kiki Smith (b. 1954, Nuremberg, Germany), across decades and media, has articulated a vision of interconnection in which human, brain, body, animal, cosmos, and personhood are not discrete but entangled. Through the tactility of wax, bronze, glass, and fiber, her work stages a dialogue between vulnerability and resilience, presence and absence, inviting viewers to sense equivalence and mutual influence across species, matter, and psyche. Each form—whether a suspended figure, a swarm of small creatures, or a delicately rendered body part—becomes a node in a larger network of relational meaning, where material, gesture, and scale converge to map a universe of shared being.
