Otilia Sabina

Otilia Sabina (she/her) is a visual artist and designer, born in Bucharest, Romania. Her studio practice researches memory as a vehicle for shaping personal identity, values, and beliefs. Drawing from stories of her life prior and post immigrating to Canada in 1998, Otilia’s work bridges the familiar and unfamiliar aspects of her history through a process of iterative fragmentation, using collage and digital image manipulation. She holds a BFA from Emily Carr University of Art + Design and currently lives and works on the unceded, ancestral, and occupied traditional lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and Səl̓ílwətaʔ Nations of the Coast Salish peoples, also known as Vancouver.
