"Distortion, 06" was debut at designer Najla El Zein's first solo exhibition Transition at Friedman Benda in 2019. Organic and gestural, El Zein's works are embodiments of her personal journey. Alluding to the pregnant form, Distortion series from this exhibition illustrates various stages of the body’s transformation. Demonstrated in a series of concrete benches, this body of work explores how this impact is experienced through material and spatial composition. These highly-contoured silhouettes create a surrealist sense of dislocation, while embracing the sense of femininity and sensuality.
