About

Rabya Alfadl is a ceramicist who uses the medium to explore nostalgia and memories. To her, making is a meditative process through which she investigate the themes of loss, transformation, and growth, unearthing and settling the emerging narratives. Her work is inspired by her upbringing and journeys across the Middle East, exploring architectural ruins, material culture and oral histories. She works in multiple hand building techniques, often adding organic materials within the making process. Rabya works intuitively to reflect a sense of place, striving for balance between form and surface treatment.
