Her multifaceted oeuvre is informed by her life spent across different cultures: from Beirut to Paris to Los Angeles and back. In paintings, drawings, sculptures and fabric works, she challenges traditional representations of sexuality, bodies and desire. Straddling figuration and abstraction--sometimes with explicitly erotic motifs--the artist developed her characteristic alphabet of curves, slits, bulges and dimples, with which she was well ahead of her time.
