Sahar Saâdaoui
Sahar Saâdaoui was born in Brussels in 1986. She lives and works in Brussels, Belgium. She studied Textile Design at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels.
Attentive to detail, alert to the secret language of symbols, perceptive to clues, Sahar Saâdaoui helps us to decode reality through her encrypted system of points positioned on an analytical grid, reproducing the twenty-six letters of the alphabet. She plays with and thwarts the apparent simplicity of the alphabetical system in works that respond to and complement each other, structuring the frames, using scraps of fabric that have fallen from the cutting out and superimposing them in subtle transparencies, sometimes enclosed in glass boxes, sometimes enclosed in glass boxes that resemble modern shrines, as if to underline the preciousness and fragility of the relics.
In this case, the code changes from linear or punctuated becomes volume, superimposition, watermark. Her practice is akin to meditation, an art of patience and attention.
