Photography by Maïmouna Guerresi
Maïmouna Guerresi, an Italian-Senegal artist, born in Italy, she converted to Islam after living in Senegal, presents an intimate perspective on spiritual ideas of human beings in relation to their inner mystical dimensions.
Guerresi’s images are delicate narratives with fluid sequencing, an appreciation of shared humanity beyond borders – psychological, cultural, and political. Recurrent metaphors such as milk, light, the hijab, trees, and contrasting white and black create awareness of the vital unifying qualities of Islamic spirituality.
