Her formally innovative practice pulls from a wide range of references, from those that span the history of art to quotidian influences such as science fiction and horror films and the makeshift structures and detritus of urban life. Instinctive and rigorous, her work brings diverse aesthetic, cultural, and psychological touchstones into contact with matters of surface, materiality, and formal construction. This publication highlights Bhabha's ability to move between a wide range of media and forms, creating deeply resonant hybrid figures that seem to simultaneously dwell in the past, present, and future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished on the occasion of two concurrent exhibitions at David Zwirner in New York in 2024, \u003ci\u003eWelcome . . . to the one who came\u003c\/i\u003e includes a text by the curator Tausif Noor that investigates the theme of alienation in Bhabha's work.
