Solem
About Solem

Tamara Al-Issa is a Syrian/Filipina ceramicist and sculptural artist based in Toronto, ON. Her practice utilizes memory-based influences of architecture, colours, textures and shapes to bridge the past and present. Her deep-rooted know-how of the materials and their historic uses propels her intuitive passion for the exploration of preserving time itself.
Her work engages with the Southeast Asian & SWANA diaspora by infusing cultural reference and nuance to re-imagine and re-define the modern, contemporary form. Harmonizing with the cyclical nature of clay, she continues to explore her own diasporic identity.
