Installation
Mounira Al Solh constructs immersive installations from found materials, textual fragments, and oral histories to examine displacement, memory, and the archive of conflict. Her work resists linear narrative, operating across intimate and monumental scales to engage the residual traces of violence in domestic and public spaces. By incorporating video and sound, she treats installation as a mode of collective witnessing rather than individual expression, using the archive as a site of shared trauma and recollection.
