About the artist
Hashim Nasr (b.1990, Khartoum, Sudan) is a self-taught visual artist whose work explores themes of heritage, identity and childhood memories through surreal imagery with a blend of avant-garde photography, he creates unconventional images that delve into the subconscious. His work explores the consequences of being a refugee as he is currently based in Alexandria, Egypt . After graduating with a degree in Dentistry, and with a strong interest in art photography, Nasr soon evolved into creating images with a strong surrealist and conceptual base, using portraiture, props and locations to explore themes of gender equality and diversity and create other-worldly scenes.
Spirit of Persistence
Here, where the sea still remains, I am staying steadfast in my journey from the river.
I am still here, and the seeds of my existence will remain in this land,
sprouting olives, and persistence
sprouting a yearning for freedom
sprouting resistance.
