ARTIST SATEMENT

Fatiha Zemmouri is an artist who aims to be materialistic in the sense where the exploration of an expanded palette of materials is at the heart of her work. The game of polyphony is used to accentuate the chronology that marks the different stages of the process of development and evolution of material itself.

What interests her most in the metamorphosis, it is this in between : to analyze the complex mechanism of transformation and to highlight the notion of time that elapses between the starting object and the transformed object.

Loaded with tension, her works mark the various phases of the human mutation
and its evolution during the cycle of the life. The symbolism of the materials is an allegory through which Fatiha examines universal concerns related to humanity, to the tragedy of the existence, to the man facing his destiny and to the question of his finitude.
