Sara Naim is a Syrian artist who grew up between Dubai and London. Naim is primarily concerned with the notion of boundaries as points of connection rather than markers of division. Her practice moves from magnified cellular abstractions of skin to sculptural formations that comment on the nature of time.
Read MoreInterrogating different modes of seeing the invisible, her work explores the tenuous line that divides interiority from exteriority, addressing the question: How can borders be constituted on a macro-level when they do not exist on a cellular scale?
Examining borders in this way, her work envisages a collective space that deconstructs separations—between country and territory, skin and surface, pleasure and pain. Experimenting with the idea of duality, different dimensions and mediums coexist; photography is sculptural and sculptures are painterly.
She received her MFA in Fine Art Media at The Slade School of Fine Art, London (2014), completed her Bachelors in Photography from London College of Communication (2010) and Art Foundation at Chelsea College of Art (2007).
