“My Memories of You…” Lost in Expression ExhibiEon, 2008.
Through my work I try to explore the realm of feelings and emoEons. What these feelings stem from, how our memories save these emoEons and what we see when we look back at them. I aim to highlight and illustrate the hidden strength of the woman, her feelings, reacEons and struggles in order to cope with the society around us. These un-‐noEced baPles with life are the creators of much repressed emoEons, feelings and memories of unfulfilled dreams.
I created this work to celebrate the voyage of the soul that is conEnuously traveled with feelings, thoughts and emoEons. This emancipaEon of the soul is so eminent in its strength yet invisible. I wish to bring to light many aspects that make the Arab woman what she is today. Using the culture, tradiEons and the constant surrounding repression there is a great deal of burdened intensity leT untold. Through symbolically coarse and rough textures I allude to the harshness of the real world against the surrealisEc dreams I have imagined. I choose to recur in my imagery solid, natural colors that are primal and strong.

I am driven to speak out about these hidden issues because I think women should have more freedom, acceptance, free-‐will and free speech to discuss the troubles in their lives, and to make the decisions they see fit. The EgypEan culture that surrounds me is my main source of inspiraEon. The City and especially the strong women I have had the pleasure of meeEng conEnue to be the driving force for my way reflecEon and creaEvity.
I wish to convey the unwanted and unseen feelings of sadness, neglect, anger, frustraEon, resentment and remorse. The confined and restricted parts of the woman’s experience are the vital yet unkind aspects that I wish to portray. “My Memories of You”, alludes to my experiences, feelings and familiarity with the woman’s world. The influences of the world around her; on herself and her soul. These reacEons and emoEons to the world, don’t last that long and are usually forgoPen, yet kept somewhere in our minds as memories.
