Description

In this multimedia portrait, Fadel attempts to convey the feeling of being disconnected from reality. It’s the feeling when everything around you doesn’t seem quite real, including yourself. In the piece her face is enclosed in a fantasy cocoon cloud, with colorful animals swirling around her, portraying a sense of suffocation within this false reality. The strings symbolize the struggle of barely clinging to what is truly real.
