Together, Ayed and Ourahmane explore the tensions between personal trajectories and broader narratives—whether geopolitical, mystical, speculative, or technological—creating works that reflect the interplay between individual experience and larger systemic forces. Their collaborations highlight the possibilities and frictions inherent in navigating these overlapping worlds, producing immersive, responsive, and conceptually layered environments. ...
