The Coordination of memory
Art Residency in Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris 2022
Invited
by Al-mansouria Foundation
During the three months residency in Cite Des Arts, I started an
ongoing journey of diving into memory, as I realized my tendency to
forget. With a splash of research, and a handful of documenting what
will soon become memories of a place and time. This series began
with a painting about my grandmother, the source of my interest in the
subject. Then moved into portraits of few people I met here or friends.
Soon enough I was getting bored of reality and oils, I moved to fiction
and ink, etching an experimental story about memory, which begins with a
question and ends with more questions and multiple images; what if
memory was a creature?
