"Prize Winner" by Vanessa German is a richly assembled mixed-media sculpture that brings together an eclectic array of found objects, toys, and everyday materials to create a layered visual narrative. Vintage doll parts, old German doll heads, cowrie shells, and folk figurines are combined with humble materials like tar, lard tins, twine, and earth, evoking themes of memory, childhood, and cultural identity. The work pulses with a raw, talismanic energy, transforming discarded and overlooked objects into a powerful monument that speaks to race, history, and the reclamation of joy.
