My work reflects the influences of French culture and my native North Africa. I attempt to interweave the past and present by employing stitching, collage
and painting to reconstitute the integrity of worn material. In my figures, the absence of features and emphasis on dress suggests the hiding and revealing of
life experience. Always, I work out of a diasporal drive for connection and through my finished forms, gather disparate remnants into relationships imbued with
belonging.
