About Ala


My works are visual narratives that are a simultaneous deconstruction and reconstruction of time and space – a visual glimpse of a crossroad where present day events meet history and mythology.

"Feelings of viseral hatred towards how the west has treated the history of Arabic belief (writings in background). The Historical figures seem unblemished and unphased by the attacks or stoically defending themselves. Maybe a little too much pride - Dangerous"

"I love your work, very poetic but strong at the same time, and therefore highly ironic"
