Wendy Owusu's practice explores the themes of identity and memory. She investigates her ancestry in order to understand its legacies and the ways in which they continue to resonate within contemporary society.

Owusu approaches memory through both intimate and geographical contexts, bringing attention to places and narratives that are often overlooked. Clothing is a central  device within her practice. She uses it to document the places she has lived and her personal history. Since 2024, she has been developing a project centered on the Rougemonthousing estate in Sevran, which was demolished in 2008. She lived there until its destruction. Drawing on archival photographs, municipal records and personal recollections, she reconstructs a fragmented memory of this vanished place.

The materiality of wool lends the image a tactile warmth, while the weaving process introduces moments of abstraction. This transformation echoes the nature of memory itself: rooted in lived experience yet inevitably shaped by reinterpretation.
