This first monograph offers a comprehensive insight into the practice of Alymamah Rashed (b. 1994), the Kuwaiti visual artist who explores topics of identity and the natural environment through the story of her body. The book explores the central themes that shape her work, presenting the philosophy behind her relationship to painting, watercolors, performance, and time-keeping, while also opening the doors of her studio to the reader. Through richly illustrated pages, the monograph reveals how Rashed’s practice is rooted in the body as a vessel, the spirit’s multiplicity, and the dialogue between natural environments, memory, and mythology. It serves as both a visual and conceptual map of her evolving artistic universe. Importantly, the publication also includes original essays and poems authored by the artist herself, offering readers an intimate access to her voice and inner world alongside critical perspectives.
