Statement Awards is a project I initiated as a natural extension of my artistic and research practice—an exploration of how art is not just an object but a declaration, an action, and a force for change. Rooted in my commitment to deconstructing representation and amplifying marginalized voices, this initiative brings together a network of international artists, scholars, and activists who believe in the transformative power of artistic statements.

This platform recognizes and elevates the role of statements in contemporary art—not just as descriptions of artworks but as independent, thought-provoking expressions that engage with social, cultural, and political realities. By highlighting these statements, Statement Awards shifts the focus from the object to the idea, from the material to the conceptual, ensuring that the critical discourse behind art is acknowledged, valued, and disseminated.

For me, this project is deeply personal—it is about creating a space where artistic voices can be heard beyond institutional frameworks, where artists and thinkers can articulate their visions without constraints. But more importantly, its impact extends beyond individual recognition. Statement Awards fosters a global dialogue, supports emerging and established artists in refining their conceptual narratives, and provides a platform where ideas can challenge perspectives and inspire action within the community.

By bridging artistic research and real-world engagement, Statement Awards is more than an award—it is a movement, a collective effort to shape the way we experience and understand art in its most fundamental form: as a statement.
