Shams Aluna
b. 1989, Manchester, UK,
Lives & works in SEA
Shams' practice acts as a bridge between the outer world, the inner world, and the world unseen. His is a kind of synesthesia. Moments and emotions tapped into and materialised as texture, layer, and colour. Meditation becomes composition; the studio becomes a place to hold conversations with the self. Transformation is constant, each piece a letter.
