Interview with artist Brandi Parker

“Through my work, I hope viewers reconsider the assumption that toys are simply harmless playthings. By transforming familiar materials, I aim to make the work accessible yet thought-provoking—inviting reflection on the cultural values embedded in objects we often overlook.”
