There’s No Difference Between Ketchup and Ripe Tomatoes

This work explores how materiality can be deployed to echo collective experiences in Lebanon. The study of socio-political, environmental, and corporeal conditions is rooted in the use of biological and inorganic. Those drawings, paintings, and sculptures reflect the study of human anatomy as well as its psychophysiology. Bones and cells form the core of works and are represented with meticulous detail and accuracy. The subsequent process of abstraction is an intuitive embodiment of our memories and feelings. These sculptures use industrial materials such as wire, latex, and nails to create a sense of intimacy while articulating a desire for corporeal autonomy. The series is at once well-researched and organized, while being strongly intuitive and chaotic.
