Nabuqi is deeply committed to exploring the aesthetic and material aspects of sculpted objects; for the artist it is important that the imitation of the outdoors is realised through an assemblage of manufactured objects whose original qualities are faithfully kept: “I wanted to recover the initial state and properties of the materials, instead of compromising these with my own hands. Which means not showing a meticulously created artwork in the exhibition space. I also wanted to construct an environment that pertains to both the outdoor (external) and the interior (internal). All the materials used here are decorative in nature, supposedly simulating or stimulating a kind of reality, or nurturing an imagination of an aesthetics: a virtual aesthetics, pleasant and hospitable”. Can such a recreation of reality be perceived as part of reality, and does it trigger the same emotional resonances in the audience as if they had encountered the real? Her artworks try to answer to such questions.
