Ebtisam Abdulaziz
Ebtisam Abdulaziz is a multidisciplinary artist and writer. She explores issues of
identity and culture through installation, performance, mixed-media, painting and
works on paper. Combining the scientific with the arbitrary, Abdulaziz draws from her
training in science and mathematics, methodically exploring subconscious states and
the expansiveness of daily life. She creates codes, systematic structures, graphic
language, and performative gestures to force viewers to question their assumptions
about rules in the natural and formulaic world. The intimate juxtapositions of these
concepts center awareness on our surrounding environment and the issues that
perplex and shape us. Website
