Re:Vive
Through photography and sound the current exhibition at MASSOUMI Gallery, Re:Vive invites into shifting atmospheres and transformation.
Echo of Isolation — Isolation is not merely absence; it is a landscape, a force, a state of becoming. Re:Vive moves through its shadows and ruptures, unraveling the contradiction between solitude and connection, stagnation and transformation. In silence, repetition, and resistance, the self is both lost and remade – an infinite cycle of retreat and return.
In a world where trust is constantly tested, Re:Vive is an exhibition that delves into the essence of hope and renewal. This visual art series seamlessly blends portraits and landscapes, creating a dialogue between human experience and the natural world. Re:Vive is an exploration of isolation as both a state of being and a passage toward reconnection.
The series unfolds in five acts – Contradiction & Disconnection, Vulnerability & Stagnation, Repetition & Overthinking, Resistance & Reconnection, Infinity – each capturing the emotional weight of solitude, the contradictions within it, and the eventual resistance against its confines.

Her latest project, RE:VIVE – ECHO OF ISOLATION, further expands her exploration of human experience, blending portraiture with landscapes to create a visual and emotional dialogue between solitude and reconnection. The series unfolds in five acts: Contradiction & Disconnection, Vulnerability & Stagnation, Repetition & Overthinking, Resistance & Reconnection, and Infinity. Each capturing the psychological and emotional complexities of isolation. RE:VIVE examines solitude not as a void but as a transformative state, where repetition and resistance become pathways to renewal.

Her practice continues to push the boundaries of portraiture, documenting human resilience while celebrating the delicate balance between vulnerability and strength.
