Maisoun El Zorba

“Meanings and human emotions converge among beings, between humans and birds, and between souls, so that the encounter becomes an eternal dialogue embodied in the heart of stone. Expression transcends toward realms beyond nature, where souls and beings meet, and the encounter becomes a return and a convergence of spirits.”

Most of El-Zorba ‘s works depend upon the element of the figure and the bird. This would be achieved through manipulation of various blocs that combine: steadiness and movement, relaxation and tension, attraction and repulsion…variation and harmony, of the movement axes. Then, there would be variations in multiple directions, which in turn would confirm the values of kinetic rhythm in the surrounding space, in its various forms, either exterior around the bloc, or a space within the fabric and system of surface formation, that contains the sculptural mass.

The kinetic concept of El-Zorba’s endeavor would assert a continuation and permanence in the act of continuous inhalation, which makes us feel a mystic aura that is set free, facing the wind, while maintaining its kinetic balance and its harmonic rhythm values, which are always developing as a mutual relationship between movement and balance.
