Not being able to process what had happened in Syria, what it had meant to seek asylum and lose their home. In this project, they revisit the photos they had taken randomly in the cities of the country they now call home and explore them with saturated colors and reformations to reflect Saria's reality at the time. The contrast is the capture, and it is uncomfortable. This series' works were exhibited in multiple exhibitions such as Fort Works Art's First Come First Serve, ArtsGoggle 2018 + ArtsGoggle 2019, Third Thursday 2019 with Near Southside, Rebel Rebel, and F*ck Your Art Degree with House of Iconoclasts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6388b952542a960fd7548606/1670171750443-P5T723MKZL6RBC9SWQ7I/2012.jpg Work - Visual Art Inspired by the topic of selfhood, specifically its different interpretations by both artists and curators throughout art history, Saria creates a few self-portraits a year, only a few, and only during intense or vulnerable moments. Moments that were so pivotal and transformative in their life. Saria also aims to capture the versatility and change in being queer, the honest realization that exploring gender and queerness is a constant transformative state. https://www.sariaalmidani.com/work/publications monthly 0.5 2022-12-07
