Dodi Tabbaa's works are endearing images created through painstaking labour and patience, research and documentation, experimentation, trial and error, love and, above all, the desire to tell the story behind the images her way. The juxtaposition of portraits of iconic figures creates a dizzying world of happiness or sadness, of calm or movement, but, mostly, of action and mystery that begs to be deciphered. It creates close ups and film strips, ribbons of abstract-looking groupings of images, entire reels that project the movie the artist's way, render her interpretation of characters and events, draw attention to scenes otherwise unnoticed or fleetingly passed over. Because that's what they are: ephemeral images that belong to a whole - maybe remembered, but often forgotten - that capture an epoch, a way of life and a star in action, but that, eventually, become part of a generation's memory, fading away in time.
