Hanane El Farissi

“My work is made of different materials that enable me to express myself and to develop my ideas, to fructify my thought and to sharpen my sensibility by using the image, the body and space through many objects.
My work is a reflection on memory and daily life, which can sometimes be bothersome. I am in a quest for something staggering, and I turn it into simple and profound actions of our experience or our life. From the intimate to the universal, I always ask and re-ask the questions that haunt me.”
Hanane El Farissi
