"I try to create pieces that become a cathartic extension of my thoughts. I am impelled to find a gesture that captures the untold stories and reveals meaning through materiality. I choose to explore ideas of memory and untold stories which evoke a sense of anxiety, isolation, irritability, guilt, depression, and a negative self-image."
- Afra Alsuwaidi on Locked
My work challenges these notions to uncover the authentic experience of women, provide them with a voice so often silenced, share their stories with audiences internationally and most importantly, empower women around the world.
