Victoria Oishi is a Pennsylvania-based artist working primarily in sculpture. Using ceramic, metal, and reclaimed materials, she explores the relationship between identity, the body, and the environment. Drawing from backgrounds in fine art and psychology, her practice is rooted in craftsmanship, material exploration, and labor-intensive processes. Through the combination of organic and industrial forms, Oishi creates work that reflects themes of connection, transformation, balance, and the traces people leave on the world around them.
