This particular series is based on images of the natural landscape; existing in a blur, as a haze and as a fragment. These blurred images speak of the longing for a landscape - a distant place that we desire, a place that we cannot reach. As we reach the edge of an horizon, another landscape and another horizon appears in the distance. It is not a location that we desire but an idea, a view of where we are not. I question reality and illusion and attempt to blur the boundary between the two entities and create a moment of mute encounter, where things are fluid and perception is mutable.

ZARAH CASSIM is a painter concerned with notions of perception. She uses the mediums of painting and photography to affect a viewer’s encounter with spatial illusion and reflect the creative filter through which she views the world. Woven into the theme of unveiling the artifice of reality, is a concern with natural forms and spaces. It is in natural forms that she finds the vehicle for a sense of disorientation: the reflection of a chaotic or absurd world, which marks a breaking point for the human condition. Each work is a personal reflection for Cassim: a sensitive, romantic memory. Some of her surfaces revel in the flat beauty of the painted mark, inviting the viewer to be seduced by the texture and material of her tool of illusion. Other works evoke a dreamlike, ungraspable landscape that threatens to dissolve at any concrete claim over form. Cassim is a 25 year old artist, born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa. She graduated with an Honours in Fine Art from the University of Cape Town in 2014. She currently lives and works in Paris.
