Feks is an Ethiopian-Australian multimedia artist based in Dharug/Western Sydney. Working across analogue and digital mediums, she blends stop-motion, collage, sculpture, and video to create playful, experimental narratives. Her practice is rooted in her upbringing, cultural heritage, and the inner worlds we carry, often using tactile processes to turn everyday objects into living stories. Whether wandering through city streets or old photo archives, Feker gathers fragments that resurface in her layered visual language.
