Specialising in mixed media collage and photography, Zory Rubel delves into dreamlike themes, aiming to evoke moments of intimacy within desolate landscapes. Her artworks blend disparate images sourced from various mediums — books, magazines, packaging, and remnants from prior works — with her own photography. With a focus on macro images capturing everyday details like carpet fibres and dried flowers, crafting compositions that blur the lines between inside and outside, internal and external realms.
