Fanni Somogyi: I am a Hungarian artist, currently studying Interdisciplinary Sculpture at MICA. Creating with my hands has been a life long passion. My current practice involves painting and sculpting with plaster, wire and wood. Parallel to my visual art practice I also pursue writing. My two passions complement each other through my research and the use of language and imagery in my work. I started my undergraduate studies at Vassar College where I pursued my interest in the social sciences, which has broadened my perspectives and enriched my work. I create art and write poetry to deconstruct social injustices, such as, societal and gender inequality, and women’s right, and to understand the role of human connections and interactions in these topics. www.fannisomogyi.com
