Into the Abyss (2020) by Nujoud Oweis

​

Having lost the sense of intimacy between each other as individuals, I have grown a strong form of intimacy with nature; a love story if you will. Spending my quarantine in Aqaba has catalysed a new ritual of collecting overlooked corals and shells; their imperfect textures and shapes fascinate me. It has become my form of escape during lockdown yet has brought me closer to nature and its beauty; growing an intimate relationship with nature and its treasures. I have created a series of performative self portraits that reflect the relationship between object and creator.
