" Liberated Ink "
Painted wooden sculpture 150 x 130 x 70cm
Shapes, colors, and materials take us on a journey into the symbolic universe of Berber women of yesteryear through a contemporary aesthetic approach. The artist's questioning of identity gives rise to a totem that invites us to embrace our ancestral traditions but also to free ourselves from their weight and reinvent them. Does building an individual identity involve deconstructing the identity of the group?The work symbolizes a form of deconstruction that invites reconstruction with a view to self-reconciliation.
