Acrylic, wax fabric, plaster bas-relief, vinyl emulsion and collage on wooden poles

My work explores the emotional weight of symbols across cultures and histories. Through a layered process combining plaster bas-relief, collage, wax fabric, and acrylic, I create compositions that evoke memory, displacement, and interconnectedness. Rooted in a personal journey shaped by migration, my pieces recontextualize traditional visual codes within contemporary frameworks. Each symbol functions like a fragment—mapped, preserved, and reimagined—inviting the viewer to navigate a shifting terrain of identity and belonging. This evolving practice bridges past and present through texture, rhythm, and material tension, questioning where meaning resides and how it transforms across borders, both visible and invisible.
