Long live the…!!

Long live the…!!

2022

In this series I continue with the reflection on language, and I focus on the powerful influence on me of televised cinematographic discourses and icons of collective memory. This time, I express myself from a nostalgic point of view by drawing my two nephews, Adib and Kenza, as a metaphor for my own childhood with two TV heads representing two sequences from two films from Egyptian cinema (Alexandria why? and The Land of Hypocrisy) which played a big role in building the basis of my artistic and communicative culture. On the other hand, the presence of the Moroccan flag in my childhood had a festive rather than patriotic or political characteristic; going out during school lessons in a long row of students to go see the King pass was like a kind of holiday, buying and collecting the paper flags used for and in this event was like a competitive game between children (or that was just my impression). Always with the drawing, feeling the greatest intimacy with the support for 10 days of tracing the lines to create this piece, while I generally consider it as a new opportunity to process my private memory which can have a lot in common with the collectivity.
