'Interlocked' explores connection, care and the relationship between the human and the natural world. One image depicts the intertwined hands of three generations of women, a grandmother, an aunt and a granddaughter, forming a quiet gesture of care, intimacy and continuity. The second image depicts intertwined tree trunks and branches, echoing the forms of the human body. Together, the two images create a dialogue between human and natural forms, reflecting on connection, memory and the ways in which relationships are held and passed on across generations.

Zita David (b. 1991, Hungary) is a Budapest-based painter whose practice explores the relationship between the built environment and the natural world. Her paintings emerge from close observation of everyday situations, focusing on overlooked urban landscapes and the subtle tensions between care and control, protection and restriction. David received her MFA from the Hungarian University of Fine Arts and has exhibited internationally, including at the Beijing Biennale, Arte Laguna Prize exhibitions in Venice and Shanghai, Galerie Sabine Bayasli in Paris, and NQ Gallery in Antwerp. She is a recipient of the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant and the Derkovits Gyula Fine Arts Scholarship.
