Mohammed Alkouh is a research-based visual artist from Kuwait; His work encompasses Analog Photography, Hand drawings, Archival materials, and hand coloring of black & white photographs. Al Kouh's work reimagines the collective memory of the Arab world with an emphasis on Kuwait; encapsulating its ephemeral nature and grandeur. Alkouh finds himself continually returning to the liminal space in-between the past and present - where his surreal imagery is cast against a transient reality. He navigates these parallels and interwoven timelines as visual commentary on the scattered national identity. The artist confronts his own sentimentality and longing by investigating its source. He unearths his deeper and unconscious gravitation to the fragmented memories and decaying structures around him.
