Nada Ayoub
nadaayoub@aucegypt.edu In her Final Project (Theme inside out ) Nada painted her portrait on a sculpture that was made out of 546 matchboxes glued together in the form of a cube with four plans and small "drawers". Each drawer represented a corner of her mind ,her thoughts and her subconscious. She was researching Freud's theory of repression. The theory says that: the mind automatically banishes traumatic events from memory to prevent overwhelming anxiety. She decided to keep some of the drawers closed and inaccessible because those were parts in her mind that had memories she cannot recall or share. Other drawer will open up to whoever decides to come near and explore ,being filled with various objects, texts , drawings ..
Nahla Hambazaza

Nahla Hambazaza –Final project – Tempera paint ,gold leaf and blood on sculpture In her final project Nahla explored the concealed nature of wasted effort. Efforts employed in failed endeavors are cast away and ignored. Failure comes hand in hand with wasted effort and people are never aware of others’ efforts unless it is successful. The sculptures used for this project are Nahla’s failed ones. They embody wasted effort. On the faces she painted patterns with gold leaf, tempera paint and blood. The blood was used to further demonstrate the nature of wasted effort, as paint can simply be mixed in order to obtain the color of blood. Using one’s own blood is therefore effective in that one is made to give up something precious while viewers are completely oblivious or indifferent to it. . The blood was used to color the patterns, as well as add coloring to the rest of the face (The faces made with clay that has been tinted with soft pastels. The eyes were painted using acrylic paint, after which several layers of glossy varnish were added . The sculptures were installed as remote creatures standing in plastic containers, Their true nature, that is their being the accumulation of effort (some of which had appeared to have been wasted), is hidden from the viewer.
