MARIAM NABA

    Texas-based artist and photographer aims to introduce the concepts of language and communication throughout paintings, photography and performance throughout the use of various color pallets and texture techniques to offer a sense of abstraction in each art piece. The abstract pieces allows the viewers to come to their own conclusions and sense of perception of the pieces. The artwork is described to be unique in their efforts to develop an individual meaning that connects to each viewer. Performance pieces have become one of the most expressive aspects of her mixed art pieces as they showcase a great deal of emotions and a sense of depth in the concept being presented.

My purpose with this work is to introduce and inform viewers about Deaf Culture, and to bring a new perspective to the hearing viewer.American Sign Language is very visual, and uses the entire body.
