Ajjori trained and works in drawing, painting, animation and sculpture. On show in this exhibition is his recent series of sculptures which take their inspiration from animals, nature and the female form. All the works have an organic feel to them as the artist chooses to explore the qualities of non-geometric forms. His sculptures start as sketches and experiments in clay, which are the route to how his abstract works  develop. The majority of pieces are small scale but as the artist suggests, they serve also as studies for larger sculptures. Ajjori is interested in exploring the relationship between line, form and mass particularly how they converge in natural forms and specifically in the female figure.

Many of his sculptures that make reference to the female body impart a  sense of melancholy. Several of the abstract figures seem passive and vulnerable as they turn inwards on themselves. They evokes a sense of separation from the wider world that is suggestive of the title of the exhibition Dialogues of Silence. At the same time other sculptures in this series have a certain tenderness as they recall mothering poses and
gestures. Many of the works seem to carry a silent yet bold inner strength that is evoked via the distribution of volume and the contours of the sculptures giving them a monumental appearance and stature even on this small scale.  Thus, in this series of abstract sculptures Ajjori presents his research on human and natural forms in which he expresses the way they inspire him both aesthetically and emotionally.
