Embroidery and drawing on a photograph printed on Fine Art Hahnemuele paper. 13 x 20 cm . The photograph was taken over the skies of Beni Mellal, over the Atlas mountain during free fall ( skydiving) while I took fabric props with me. My years skydiving have a taste of a freedom and child like innocence marvelling at the wonderful world from above. Those feelings are tested during events like the past years or the earthquake, while togetherness through these times revives them and grounds us back in our humanity. I tap on those feelings by creating these imaginary characters and parallel worlds. These lyrics come to mind from Indila's "Derniere danse " " J'remue le ciel, le jour, la nuit Je danse avec le vent, la pluie Un peu d'amour, un brin de miel Et je danse, danse, danse, danse, danse, danse, danse {....} Et je m'envole, vole, vole, vole, vole, vole, vole '

I am an artist of Austrian and Moroccan descent, between photography, mixed media and poetry. I am also a qualified personal trainer, kettle bell coach and NLP practitioner. I was honoured to do a Tedx Talk in 2013 in Casablanca and I am fully licensed skydiver nd camerawoman in freewill which led to an abstract series in the sky. Coming from a mixed culture background and having lived in various countries and without my family around me from an early age - the notion of home as a place or as a tribe and emotion is something that makes me feel foreign and belonging in many places and none at the same time. Therefore the idea of home, culture, fixed or moving identity, place and Re mythologizing reality is a very fertile ground for investigation. We are creatures of habits and habitus makes habitat and comfort zone, and home ( not implying here any positive or negative ). Even more today with a world so ever mobile, by choice or by circumstance. We end up looking for the familiar, what reminds us of the far away, what looks similar , what draws a bridge, and for some boundaries. Home therefore is for me this obscure concept that eludes a simple definition, a nomenclature for a plethora ideas, attachment to things, place, space and people, a house and go even further as to encompass emotion. Through my work, I am questioning this relationship between the self, the body and the surrounding world and the stories that arise from it. I am trying to catch a glimpse in the in - between, or to paraphrase John Berger, the frame between the frame, the one where poetry sneaks in, a poetry where a certain beauty sits, one that is often in the cracks, the scars, the lines of time - the Imperfections for they make things real. I have also always been interested in exploring the convergence of science, technology and personal mythology. "Cultures are maps of meanings through which the world is made intelligible." -- P.Jackson. As humans we like to make sense of things, (and ourselves), link them, map them, relate to them. It's one of the processes I use in my work. A physical implication a "boditude" is always very important and present in my practice, as a reference and as a tool, be it in the shape of self portrait or purely as a medium. The Romantics, the Surrealists, the playful, Childlike sometimes dark but always Optimist are words that come to mind should I describe my work.
