Fathema Bemath creates sculptural female forms that represent the diversity of women within racial, cultural, ethnic and experiential contexts. Bemath considers the power of art to highlight the struggles that women endure, both overt and nuanced, that are in relation to normalised power dynamics of misogyny and (hetero)patriarchy. Bemath constructs sculptures of the female form to combat the male gaze and Western beauty standards that depict women from a one-dimensional perspective. To Bemath, sculpture-making serves to reclaim stolen agency of those who are looked at, granting dignity and resilience, while elucidating the profound impact of reductions in gendered complexity and multi-dimensionality.
