French born fashion designer and photographer, Abessera’s work is inspired by the everyday moments captured through her lens, observed in our social, urban, and natural environments, picking up symbols and visual clues, enacting day-to-day objects, her work by turns is, a mix of paradox fashionable melancholy and romantic utopian. By blending a wide range of mediums; photography, poetry, mix media, and superimposed abstract patterns, Abessera’s work provokes both aesthetic and sociological analysis onto the image. Picking up symbols and visual clues from overlaid patterns and messages, the viewer is invited to evoke a deeper subjective emotion, while offering commentary on our contemporary culture. The added layers provoke dissonance into vernacular imagery. Abessera's blend of mediums fuse philosophy, emotion. Her work is notable for its grasp of the role that photographs – both found and made, still and moving – opens her art to the beauty and mystery captured in everyday life. Abessera’s work is rooted in personal experience, vision, and touch.
