Daniela Monica Sara, born 1993, currently resides and works in Zurich. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Design from the ZHdK in 2024.

I now view my practice as an expanded field of art in which materiality, repetition and the conditions of presence take centre stage. My interest lies not in mere representation, but in emergence: how a form appears, gains strength, withdraws and finally returns as a trace, a memory, a void or an afterimage. I create open situations that are only completed through participation, interaction and physical experience. Transformation and ritual are central elements in this. Whether in painting, sculpture, spatial installations or performative settings. My work is equally shaped by objects and materials drawn from everyday consumption, and by an interest in juicyness as a language that carries its own emotional weight. How can artistic practice generate emotional and social resonance? For me, art is a space of connection, in which personal experiences become shared, sensory moments.
