Hadeer Omar (Egypt)

Tashweesh

Hadeer Omar is an Egyptian visual and time-based media artist. She holds a BFA in Graphic Design and MFA in Design Studies from Virginia Commonwealth University, Qatar.

In Tashweesh, which means "distortion" in Arabic, Hadeer uses a prism to perform a new analysis of the visual field that merges reality and the artist's vision. The geometry of the scenes she has photographed is distorted and the colour dissolved, offering a fresh perspective on familiar surroundings, from both a spatial and chromatic perspective.
