Working with a wide range of materials, Provost’s sculptural practice reflects a lived experience shaped by movement and multiplicity. Drawing on archaeology as a conceptual tool, her works emerge as cultural residues of a scattered identity. They operate as open systems—cryptic, polyvocal, and deliberately resistant to fixed meaning. In reframing the everyday, Provost interrogates how displacement reshapes one’s relationship to home and to the self, resisting nostalgia in favour of critical intimacy. Through a layered and meditative process, she invites viewers into a tactile conversation about personal histories, places, and becoming.
