Victoria Oishi is a Pennsylvania-based artist whose sculptural work delves into the intricate relationship between humanity and the environment. With a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Penn State University, her practice bridges the tactile and the conceptual. She works with materials such as metal, ceramic, and recycled goods, exploring themes of identity, time, power, and balance.

​

Oishi's art is deeply rooted in the intimacy of the body and labor, where repetitive, yet intuitive processes reveal the energy and memory inherent in her chosen materials. Through her sculptures, she seeks to reconcile the tensions between industrial and organic forms, creating pieces that resonate with the human body, environment, and existential narratives.
