In these drawings, the artist constructs drawings of common spaces where events and experiences from her past took place. Some are references to the real world - drawn from old photographs. Others are mental constructions - floating between reality and fiction.


Here, the artist is interested in the connection between architecture, sound, space and time.

She creates these environments both digitally and physically, inspired by spaces that once contained her personal experiences.


In an ongoing process that explores the relationships between physical and digital draftsmanship and representation, Sawsan finely constructs her drawings, interweaving hand drawing and digital information, mixing software, painting, printmaking, collage and various method of transfers.


The drawings reveal an aspect of our relationship to the built environment, and the interaction between space and memory. Both architecture and virtual space become places where human activities are implied, but remain absent. In these staged and common settings, characters are neither real nor present, but the silence and absence recalls sounds and voices.
