Mohammed Alfaraj
Mohammed Alfaraj is a visual artist that works in film, photography, sculpture and poetry, influenced by his hometown and his travels. Alfaraj attempts to capture the imprint and impact of life both literally and metaphorically. Having studied engineering and growing up loving the camera in Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia, Alfaraj’s work can be described as a cinematic collage of mediums, practices and ideas. With his artwork and projects, Alfaraj aims to create a world charged with stories, poetry and the search for truth via exploration, documentation and interpretation, resulting in works that the artist hopes nurture imagination and empathy. His use and reuse of organic and manmade waste work as a physical capsule of memories and time, with these materials and their histories holding a spiritual quality. Alfaraj also engages in workshops and action-based activities with the community as a believer in collective creativity.
