Selome Muleta and Youssra Raouchi collaborate to explore the intricate relationship between our bodies and the spaces we inhabit. Their collective journey delves into the essence of belonging, the intricate curation of our inner worlds, and the enigmatic, transient aspects of our identities.
Their artistic narrative unfolds through the interplay of enclosed and expansive spaces, transforming rooms and planes into surreal landscapes that transcend conventional boundaries.
Nature emerges as a prominent motif in their shared vision, blurring the lines between wilderness and domesticity, and highlighting the interconnectedness of humanity and ecology. Selome infuses her work with the nurturing essence of nature, portraying it as a source of solace and renewal.
Meanwhile, Youssra’s portrayal of animals evokes a sense of tension and foreboding, symbolising the fragmented facets of the human experience.
Both artists embrace the discomfort of contorted bodies, portraying them in vulnerable yet mesmerising poses that challenge conventional notions of embodiment.
Bodies intertwine and merge with their surroundings, blurring the boundaries between self and environment. Drawing from their expertise in fine art, Selome and Youssra manipulate form and perspective to craft immersive worlds that invite introspection.
Similarly, Youssra plays with perceptions of distance, blurring the delineation between interior and exterior spaces.
