Trusona

Trusona A solo exhibition by: ElHassan ElMuontasir May 01 – May 08 (2021) Exhibition The search for our human and inner identity is a lifelong struggle. The quest for answers on who we are and what makes us human is a journey taken several times by many. It takes a dig into history and ourselves to understand the patterns humans have taken and the road that leads to where we are now. TRUSONA is a continuation of a thinking process explored by artist  Elmuontasir over several projects and mediums. Starting from “Trueface” in 2016, which touched on exploring one’s inner identity, the artist portrayed the many personalities we carry within us in abstract, colorful forms.  Through Trusona, he expresses the concept developed by the American CIA on an application with the same title that works on identifying people and collecting their data in a system recognizable by faceprints and numbers that would replace passwords. Elmuontasir expresses the system’s indifference to human nature and one’s ideas, cultures, and preferences; he shares the notions in the portraits of Trusona that are accompanied by a numbering system that is derived from an ancient science that combined letters and numbers and with a certain method and calculations, the combination of those numbers have a powerful effect on one’s life. Elmuontasir’s interest is expressed in his work as he combines his unique techniques with research, resulting in a thoughtful work of art. In this context and the cross between what’s physical and that which is spiritual, the quest is diverse to the pure physical and the broad faith and spiritual models. Amidst these, the mind becomes a pendulum that enjoys the pleasures of the materials and looks for purpose and holiness throughout the journey.
