Salama Nasib’s practice is best described as intimate, meditative and interactive: Intimate about her subject matter, meditative with her print application and interactive with the audience. Her interest revolves around the subject of memory and all the ideas surrounding it including remembering, forgetting and false memories. Her recent research consists of using old family photo albums as a reference to the past, transitioning to the realistic present and to the desired future through the multiple layering and applications of various print techniques including photo-lithography, solar printing and blind embossing. Her experiments also involve recording and composing her own voice as an added layer to the prints, giving the illusion of spoken prints, or better described as spoken memories.
