ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I always like to work on the idea of in-between space, being physically present in one space but mentally elsewhere. This is this surreal state of day-dreaming that I’m trying to represent on my collages. The juxtaposition in my works often explores the relationship between heaviness and lightness, presence and absence⁠. The idea of being in two states, being here physically and somewhere else mentally. Being in a space physically and not being aware of your surroundings as the mind drifts elsewhere is something that we’ve all experienced. All my artworks are printed on Giclee paper. This paper has a strong mottled texture and is able to hold strong colours and deep blacks that feel rich and high in contrast. This is due to the texture of the paper enabling it to hold more ink and capture the light. With its weight and strong texture this paper gives an artwork a handmade crafted feel.

Growing up in the vibrant surroundings of Morocco has influenced my creative approach. Researching colour combinations and developing palettes is a significant part of my process. My background as an interior architect has shaped my passion for abstract geometry and composition. My goal is to combine these elements into a graphic visual language that is universally understandable. I’m inspired by the philosopher Michel Foucault’s notion of ‘Heterotopia’ or ‘in-between spaces’. My intent through my collages is to playfully explore our relationship with real and virtual spaces. The simultaneous occupation of spaces, physically and mentally. Hence, two states of being. A conceptual combination of architectural, sturdy surroundings and dream-like, surreal aesthetics.
