The body of works presented here engage with the materiality of scrap metal collecting and recycling as well as with issues of labor, valorization, economy, racism, sustainablllty, the power of art, and strategies of survival. In the Roma community village of Ružica In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the artist’s father has supported the family through the conversion of metal waste. As Selman states "In my works I carve out separate pieces from vehicles that reside between the painterly and the sculptural. Having had avery personal relationship with metal since childhood, the scrap metal works fuse impressions of everyday life, art history, colloquial language, and my own personal experiences.”
