On Creating: Hadil Moufti

We sat down with Hadil Moufti to discuss what creating means to her. She spoke to us about a childhood full of stories, a home where her father wrote poetry and played the oud. She spoke to us about always looking for a sense of home in the things that surround her, and how her subjects moved from birds and endangered animals to insets, which she transformed with gold and extra wings to create "a new world with ese these new creatures."  Moufti's artworks mediate on themes of homes, childhood, and nostalgia, and her work is interwoven with references to mythology, literature and religious narratives. Her evocative compositions reimagine children’s tales, biblical motifs and architectural elements from diverse cultural and historical contexts, creating a visual language that speaks to the universality of human experience.
