Xenia Ockens

Bio

b. 1999, (DK), she/her. With a passion for colors and textiles, Xenia expresses herself through tufting, exploring the medium’s tactile and narrative potential. Everyday and banal elements are given a voice in her work, inviting a reconsideration of what is often overlooked. In her bachelor project, she delves into death and dreaming under the title "The Closest We Come to Dying is Falling Asleep." Here, she shares her most vulnerable thoughts on death—not to define it, but to create a space where somber emotions can be experienced together.
