Sadik Kwaish Alfraji on his Art Project 'Books of Passages', Three Generations of Migration, Identity, Layers of Memories, Expression and Thoughts through Art

art breath, April 1, 2023

Through art, Sadik Kwaish Alfraji conveys his feelings, thoughts, subconscious and consciousness, on migration, exile, displacement, loss, alienation, identity and memories. 
His works of art relay his and his family’s experiences and his reflections on what he calls ‘the problem of existence’.


Figures made up of either charcoal or ink assume the void that the artist has felt, and the layers of memories that he contemplates on. 


Drawings, paintings, video animations, art books, graphic art and installations form part of Sadik Kwaish Alfraji’s body of work, engulfing the viewer into the artist’s mind, his visual storytelling, and into a world of deep significance, where intensity and philosophy intertwine releasing striking and bold strokes of art.
