Moataz Nasr: Broken Patterns
Showing complex cultural processes currently underway in the Islamic world, Nasr鈥檚 work surpasses idiosyncrasies and geographical limits by voicing the worries and torments of the region. The heightened anxiety currently underway is reflected in new work, Shattered Glass, a map of the Middle East consisting of layered broken glass. The feeling of belonging to a specific geopolitical and cultural context and the need to maintain a link with his homeland are key elements of his life and work. His practice is also concerned with portraying his native Egypt鈥檚 traditions, people, and colors through a conscious contextual framework. Art and life are inseparable for Nasr; his childhood memories, societal frustrations and the rich historical heritage of his region all fuel his practice.
