George Alkhoury Clamorous incognito of the unconscious mind

My body of work investigates the devastating effects of war and displacement on the human psyche, drawing on my personal experiences of fleeing the Syrian conflict. The sculpted forms represent the depths of the unconscious mind while the title refers to the concealed and chaotic aspects of our inner world. The malleability of clay invites the audience to engage on a sensory level, and expresses the ever-changing nature of thought and emotion. It is a tactile metaphor for the mysteries within us, to encourage contemplation of our own consciousness and meditation on the human experience.
