2019 PROJECT: ICONOCLASTIC FIGURES
"ICONOCLASTIC FIGURE" is a series of three original wall art pieces. I was drawn to select a well-known American - international - iconoclastic figure to represent me through my life experience acrobatically into cultural adaptation. ICONOCLASTIC FIGURES | ALL THREE is an exchange and adaptation between Haute Couture and Visual Art I was drawn to produce this body of work as an introduction of a multicultural person through the expression of the art. Inspired by the acrobatic exchange and adaptation from my Lebanese descent, through the gilding of The French Chateau de Versailles, to the Iconic American star Marilyn Monroe, it made sense to me to use all types of mediums to describe all cultures combined to create “The Finale”! Mother of pearl, French gold leafing technique, authentic Austrian crystals, to enhance the BLING, and of course, our iconic star from the ’60s, abstract figures, metallic elements, collage, resin, and more...“ICONOCLASTIC FIGURES | ALL THREE” represents the organized chaos of cultures adaptation | Beauty has no rules | 2019
