The works of French/Algerian artist Sabrina Belouaar revisit existing problems such as social inequality, identity and the status of women. She transposes personal, multicultural, social and historical references into clues, traces or symbols, using materials that were prominent in her youth, such as henna. In this exhibition, three works are presented.
In Henna, a monochrome of henna questions the body and origins as the smell of henna fades illustrating memories that escape us over time. In the video Malaxe, we see the hands of the artist manipulating henna; a gesture of immersing oneself in both a culture and personal history.
