A Lebanese visual artist drawing distorted portraits and renders of the psyche. I use memories, delusions, fears, and desires to materialize a series of selves.
I'm a senior architecture student pursuing psychology as a minor. My interests revolve around renders of the self, the other, and the collective. I tend to use varied mediums- pencil drawings, pen illustrations, and collages - in search of a visual form to both collective memory and personal delusions.
Putting emphasis on 'delusions' as false psychotic beliefs regarding the self or persons outside the self that is maintained despite indisputable evidence to the contrary'. My work thus becomes a mean to materialize the latter delusions from mental paths into physical surfaces. Forms and figures manipulated and deformed into delusional memories, then, materialize into evidentiary menace.
... a fragile occurrence - a fracture into an alternative realm that echoes what it encompasses and reverberates back into it.

Bonjour, bonne année et surtout la santé. Votre œuvre est à la fois des plus onirique et un soupçon de "gore" car la spirale me fait penser à l'ADN, un escalier et une colonne vertébrale que l'on enroule. Je la trouve assez troublante. Merci de votre partage. Bien à vous Laurent
