Nada Baraka’s work deals with the perception of the female body and its subjection to changes within today’s society, tackling themes of gender, identity and the body’s relationship with its surroundings.
In multiple shapes and sizes, the artist displays large paintings on canvas taking up entire walls at the Mashrabia's gallery in her first solo exhibition, which opened on 18 January. Yet the display also includes her smaller and irregularly shaped works, canvas mounted on laser-cut wood boards displayed as a fragmented installation on the wall.
