Pamela Chrabieh

At the crossroads of Western Asian iconography, calligraphy, and digital arts, Chrabieh’s artworks express pieces of wounded memories by sublimating reality. Each icon depicts scattered elements of people torn by the vicious cycle of war and gives shape to the absence, the missing, the unspoken, to the afterlives of war survivors in their grief, nostalgia, and remorse co-mingling with hope for a future in which they reclaim the past from ossification, fixed boundaries, and amnesia. Each icon is an experience of the sublime that lurks within and beyond the ambiguity of traumas in a quest for the healing of life. Pamela Chrabieh is a Lebanese-Canadian visual artist, researcher, activist, writer, and consultant with 20+ years of international experience.
