Aya Afaneh
Aya Afaneh is a Palestinian artist and researcher, dedicating her art as a space for processing, reflecting, and healing. The core of her work lies in the meditative intersection of creative spaces and spiritual practice, both physical (sight, touch, smell, scent, and taste) and soul-based (intuition, peace, foresight, trust, empathy). This approach centers her work around the question: how does losing myself in a spiritual artistic space inspire intuitive, feminine work. Her work is not linear; it is a messy cycle of thoughts and creations that ignite one idea after another and somehow all come back together. Aya's art is a regurgitation of my soul and being, and trying to find her place in the Universe.
