About the Exhibition
Samar Zureik is a storyteller who uses graphic design and illustration to paint a narrative of her life and the stories of those around her. The Lab is transformed into a space for the resurrection of family stories and memories. Zureik explores her identity and passion in an attempt to capture a new perspective on her past and revive her journey of exploration, interpretation, personification and reintegration in the form of illustrations, installation art and photo editing.
