Redacted Happiness 'As One'

collaboration with @Mouzenn_

You’ll see that this project is about happiness, the psychological state, the emotional condition. It is not about mindlessly being perma-grin happy. This piece ‘Redacted Happiness’ makes clear a situation in which happiness is far from ubiquitous. Rather, it can be rare and fleeting. This artwork, in a subtle and highly contemporary way represents the impact that oppressive regimes can have on the individual, unable to fully express themselves in a way they see fit, whilst also referencing and celebrating the beautiful geometric art forms and mashrabiya screens of their culture that stretch back for centuries.
