His sculptures carry transformation in themselves, while reflecting on issues of sexuality, identity, fragility, power and social change through them.

Bence Magyarlaki’s works reflect the issues of intimacy, social relations and body image, and different body concepts. His sculptures are dynamic representations of a body bending in on itself or intertwined with another, exploring social patterns of belonging. The anthropomorphism of his work invites us to a fluid, emotional and relational reinterpretation of the body.
