Mandy El-Sayegh is a multidisciplinary artist whose work fuses personal memory with institutional language. Drawing from her cross-cultural background and interest in systems—both bodily and societal—she constructs dense, tactile environments using text, diagrams, and fragments of daily life. Her practice unfolds through layers, revealing how identity is shaped, edited, and continuously rewritten.
A layered exploration of identity, culture, and self—Mandy El-Sayegh’s art invites us to look closer and question what we see.
Through fragmentation and repetition, El-Sayegh invites viewers to navigate the tension between clarity and chaos, visibility and erasure.
