Bel Wejj Mreye...- 2012
As her previous collection, Sandra enjoys mixing media and fusing contrasts. She was known for bridging between traditional forms and modern materials in her earlier work.
This time, she combines the used and rough wood with the sleek, plastic and glossy acrylic, to create an interesting installation.
She claims being inspired from her surrounding society, which has become nothing but fake and superficial.
Hence she entitled it: ‘wejj mreye w afa sermeye’ from a Lebanese proverb that translates ‘mirror face, dirty rear’ representing the hypocrisy and the bipolar society we live in.
Therefore her interpretation was a simple act of covering the used and unfinished wood with a layer of bling bling acrylic as a mask.
Her aim was to provoke and incite this shallow society and conceive the idea that ‘not everything that glitters is gold’.
