Twisted

Back piece inspired by the Zulu tribe, I got really interested last year by their way of living. They don't have much but still, they can create amazing piece of clothing.



I've used inner bike tube for the belt and camera film and paper for the coloured strings, I also used some glass for a fake impression of diamonds.

Moi, moi, moi, moi, MOI





Self-portraits made on photoshop. I've used loads of different pictures of me and crop and cut loads of different part, eyes, nose, mouth... the background is one picture of me that I multiplied, copied and paste using loads of different format.

Like taking candy from a tranny

My mum used to draw those faces all the time when I was young, it was her doodling. I've used the same shape for the face and tried and take to another level, I had the moustache and it turned out to be a very nice looking man.

I've used dry pastel, PVA glue and glitter.

Where's Jimmy?

I wanted to try out loads of different ways to represent Pop.


I've used a lot of materials, I wanted to mix 3d and drawing, the centre piece is Jimmy Hendrix's face, made with pencil and bottle cap.

Tribalistic

Black woman head inspired by a painting my dad made for me when I was little, he was inspired by the Zulu tribe of South Africa. 

I've used modeling clay and paint. 

From another world

That painting represents the oppression of the Muslim religion from my point of view. I've lived 5 years in Morocco and it was hard to get use to the rules and expectations of the religion.

I've used dry pastel and paint.

Nudity, obscenity




3 A3 paintings that I made in my life drawing classes.

I've mainly used paint and a bit of ink. I wanted to be creative that day and didn't want to use the expected biro or pencil.

Mother Earth and her groupies

I've made all those outfits for a costume party in February. I've used dresses that I already had but I cut and dyed them. 

I've used flowers, beads, leaves, tiny birds, ladybugs, frogs, shells and sparkle that I glued with a glue gun, no stitches involved there! 








I've made all the head pieces too and the jewellery using modeling clay, tooth pick and leaves. 

Up your Pop!

That's one of the first 3d mood board I've done. The house is in itself pretty modern and if I could be interior designer one day that's not the kind of style I would use. I'm pretty traditional when it comes to my surrounding. 





I've used all sorts of materials, wood, plastic, metal, glass, strings,...

My lost love

This table is only a prototype of the table I wanted to do but never had time to. I've carved a moroccan poem about lost love and discover of new one.


Plain wood, that I polished, carved, and burned all around, used 2 pastry roller for the table legs.

Hamsa

This hand is a Moroccan representation of the hamsa hand against the bad eye. All the designs on the hand are inspired from the drawings that the Moroccan women draw on their hands with henne.

I've used plain wood and then used a soldering iron to designed and draw patterns on the hand.
