Filmus’s sculptural work delves into the intricate interplay between memory, identity, time, place, and the body, with a particular emphasis on the material and symbolic qualities of glass. Her work oscillates between the personal and the collective, often emerging from individual recollections while simultaneously inviting viewers to engage with their own. Central to her inquiry is the notion of memory as both a fragile and enduring force—one that shapes and is shaped by physical and cultural environments.

Glass, chosen as her primary medium, is integral to this exploration. Its inherent contradictions—transparency and opacity, strength and fragility, permanence and vulnerability—mirror the elusive nature of memory and the layered complexity of identity. Through glass, Filmus captures the tension between presence and absence, visibility and obscurity, allowing form to embody the ephemeral.

The body plays a pivotal role in her work, functioning both as a tool of making and a recurring motif. It serves as a site of experience, a vessel for memory, and a metaphor for the porous boundary between internal consciousness and external reality.

By navigating these themes through a materially and conceptually rigorous practice, Filmus creates works that resonate with emotional depth and intellectual nuance, offering contemplative spaces for reflection on the human condition.
