"I'm Inspired by the flow of materials to create distinctive metamorphic-shaped sculptures that embody the colors, texture, and movement of nature in organic form."
Yousra Wahba (1977) is an Egyptian artist based in Dubai, UAE. Her artwork explores the interplay between nature, time, and identity, delving into profound questions about transformation and evolution while examining reality and the human journey. Central to her art is the concept of life's fluidity and the constant state of change, where she captures memories and identities in a manner that resonates with the alchemy of the natural world.

By pushing the boundaries of her chosen materials, she creates sculptures, installations, and paintings that capture the dialogue between the seen and unseen. Yousra questions the borders that define us, honoring the fluid yet resilient nature of existence.
