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 fueled by curiosity. It drives me to explore a wide range of themes. I focus on loss, especially the loss of memory and what occupies the spaces left by the forgotten. I also examine the intricate relationship between presence and absence, particularly in the context of death. 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 confined by rigid dogmas. Leaving that faith behind became a profound shedding, a transformation that pushed me to question everything I once knew about myself. My work continually explores and questions the concept of identity, which I perceive not as something fixed, but as a process of ongoing transformation. Through constant experimentation with various mediums, I seek to navigate the spaces between loss and memory, presence and absence, trauma and healing—always in search of the unseen forces that shape our human experience.
