In this series “celebration chronicles” Azize Ferizi presents a series of eight paintings where the subjects are veiled in these shell-like, cloth-like structures, serving as unconventional garments. With each painting, she attempts to depict a distinct character that draws inspiration from prevalent stereotypes. By doing so, she focuses to shed light on the limitations and constraints imposed by these social constructs, inviting viewers to question and reflect upon their own perceptions. These characters are envisioned within the context of a fictional celebration or event, allowing for an engaging narrative to unfold.

Each painting becomes a visual narrative, where the characters speak through the language of hues and compositions, conveying stories of identity, perception, and societal roles.
