His recent work is entangled with his Surinamese roots and relates to global citizenship
in todays society. Jungerman uses collages, sculptures and installations to show
cultural critique(s) of the local and the global, the internal and the external. He places
traditional materials and objects in dierent contexts that challenge the established
notions of their representation within Western society. Jungerman derives his inspiration
from Afro-religious elements of the heritage of Maroon culture in Suriname and the
global black diaspora. At the same time he is also inspired by Western traditions and
trends in the arts. Jungerman uses color and pattern references that both nod to the
twentieth-century Dutch De Stijl movement and a manifestation of black diaspora
traditions.

In his Pimba Series, Jungerman combines cotton textiles relating to Suriname Afro-
religions and kaolin (clay) used in purification rituals in Surinam and the African diaspora.
As a sculptor, Jungerman brings a heightened awareness to his surfaces, incising the
clay to reveal the elaborate pattern of the textiles beneath.

With this series hes adding a dierent narrative to the art historical canon. A narrative
that shows references to the ritme of colonial plantation grid in Surinam and the
esthetics of the development of abstract patterns from an African heritage.
