I began my artistic journey at the Lebanese University for Arts and Architecture in Beirut, where I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts. During my time there, I became deeply engaged with various queer and feminist groups, which opened my eyes to new political questions and shifted my understanding of my social position as an artist. This experience ignited my interest in the human element, prompting an introspective turn in my practice. I began to deconstruct my own identity to understand how the different environments I had lived in shaped me.
This inward exploration became a doorway to understanding others, revealing an “alter existence” beyond the self. After completing my Bachelor’s degree, I pursued a Master’s degree in Fine Arts at ESAL Metz in France, where I continued to develop my practice, experimenting with various mediums and subjects. Today, my work is driven by a curiosity that pushes me to explore diverse themes, from loss—particularly the loss of memory and what fills the spaces of the forgotten—to the complex interplay of presence and absence that death brings. I manifest the traumas that inhabit my body, exploring how they shape perception and identity.
Growing up in a religious environment, my perspective on the world was trapped in a rigid framework. Leaving that faith behind has led me to challenge everything I once knew about myself. My work continually questions what remains of the “real me” when all forms of indoctrination and external influence are stripped away. Through experimentation across multiple mediums, I seek to navigate the spaces between loss and memory, presence and absence, trauma and healing—always searching for the unseen forces that shape our human experience.
