Shaima Mohammad Ali, a fine arts graduate from the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, is a Palestinian from the village of Beit Thul in the district of Jerusalem. Most of her works are based on sculptural elements and video art, in an attempt to create a special space in which the work exists, based on private and collective experiences that intersect or intertwine at times and separate at other times. She draws inspiration from her sense of a subject that stops her, and she also deals with politics in her works. Politics that explore the real life of the Palestinian individual, their feelings, and their dreams reflecting Edward Said’s words, “every Palestinian must tell his story”.
