Zeina Al Kattan went on a life-changing journey as she settled in the UAE after leaving her home
country, Syria – a land witnessing fluctuation as transmitted to us through blurred images from
unreliable media sources. She draws dark and ironic scenarios of the intertwined conditions of life.
She assembles pictures of stories and from events that vaguely affected her. Her unique touch within
her practice is how she uses advanced realistic drawing technologies, abstraction and symbolism to
create a scenario that combines an alternate reality from dislocated feelings and memories.
