ANIS EL JAMAL

Cunture

This collection explores the question: are we really in control of our own lives? A battle for control ensues in the landscape of the mind. Quilting and stuffing methods produce voluminous pieces that represent the physical brain, dramatic and unconventional silhouettes forge a contrast between shape-obscuring oversized jackets and body-defining fitted corsets to depict various levels of illusion. The color palette transitions from peaceful greens to more heated reds and oranges. Two contrasting prints - block and digital - were also created to illustrate the battle for control.
