In the world of Nour Ammar, every gesture has a pulse. Shaped by intention and intuition, she is guided by her deep love for creation and sensitivity to touch. Each mark she leaves behind draws her closer to meaning, yet it is within the silent spaces between these marks - the subconscious rhythm of her creative process - that the true soul of her work resides.

For Ammar, abstraction is liberation. As her practice deepens, her lines grow freer, her strokes more daring, and the boundaries of the self dissolve. In their place emerges something universal - undefinable, yet unmistakably human. The Home That Carries Me is a love letter from Ammar to the act of creation itself. It is a record of how colour interacts, conflicts, and ultimately resolves; how forms emerge and dissipate; and how creation and destruction exist in perpetual motion. Devoted to the journey, she embraces the unknown, laying expressions bare on the surface and uncovering new realisations with each Stroke.

Through this act of surrender, Ammar reimagines a conception home - not as a physical place, but as a state of being, a mental sanctuary found in relinquishing control and yielding to the guiding force of gesture. Within this sacred space, the soul speaks before words form, meaning arises before meaning is understood, and hidden truths awaken through colour, movement, and light.
