description Contemporary artist Soraya Rhofir’s works are influenced by an “extraterrestrial tradition”, which mingles knowledge, belief and imaginary. By the lower-end she draws patterns and principles to develop cosmogonic narratives, where apparitions, transformations and revelations happen. The narratives are the thread of her reflections to build installations with pictures from outer imagery. The “extraterrestrial” as unclear character or space, has a shifting outline, hence it can represent a transition between two worlds where the artist intersects common and odd. Her works draw a swinging world of emancipation affected by fallibility, but maintained unresolved, to make the invisible visible.
