Weaam Elmasry

This work has been kindly donated by the artist

El Masry’s artwork is centred around memories and fragments of her personal life; and the concealment of her inner femininity and vulnerable inner child persona–elements of her personality that have been constrained by social norms. El Masry is burdened by notions of regret and distorted love. El Masry's art focuses on societal issues in her native Egyptian culture, with a particular focus on the position of religion on women and their relationships with others around them. Despite this, her work manages to transcend time and borders, making it universally relatable. El Masry's objective is to uncover the psychological pain and yearning for complete freedom to pursue dreams and ambitions, free from the constraints of a strict and unforgiving society.
