Rania Atef

My practice focuses on tracing social and political implications that reflect on behavior and attitude which belong to present experiences or social and historical narratives. During the process, I dig deep into the fine layers between consciousness and unconsciousness, visible and invisible, while seeking to dissect, dismantle, and rebuild elements and contexts.
