Rae Al-Malaki

Statement

My art is an exploration of identity, tradition, and abstraction, rooted in the imprint of my own hands. Each piece begins as a simple hand trace—an intimate and organic starting point—which I then digitize and transform into intricate, paisley-inspired compositions. Through digital manipulation, I experiment with symmetry, movement, and repetition, allowing my hands to become both the subject and the tool of creation. My work merges the personal with the universal, drawing from cultural motifs while reimagining them in new and unexpected forms. By layering these elements, I create designs that feel both structured and fluid, familiar yet surreal, inviting viewers to find their own connections within the patterns.
