ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This artwork, like most of my work is inspired by the philosopher Michel Foucault notion of Heterotopia."Spaces of otherness, which are neither here nor there, that are simultaneously physical and mental.” This piece emphasizes on the idea of being in two states, being here physically and somewhere else mentally. The face disappears to reveal the mind of the subject. 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. I hope people can find a sense of escapism by looking at it. Giclee print is based on a heavyweight paper that has a slightly warm base tone and a strong mottled texture. It creates a print with strong colours and deep blacks that feel rich and high in contrast. Limited Edition of 50

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.
