    Artist Linda Dounia contemplates memory, loss, and change in her poetic collection of area carpets, titled "A Staircase Home." Her artwork is designed through an algorithm built around her memory of her childhood home. The staircase motif climbs back and forth in each of 12 unique designs—at varying heights and angles in a mix of earthy and vibrant tones. Conceived on an exploratory trip to Morocco where the medium for her collection was chosen, the works also take inspiration from Moroccan artisanal traditions.

    Linda Dounia is an artist, designer, and curator examining the intricate interplay between tangible and intangible structures through her expansive creative practice that the art of craft-making in dialogue with technology, acrylic, ink, pastels, vector, video, GANs, and more recently, Javascript, including languages like p5.js – that often fuse harmoniously to craft her unique expressions. With a keen eye on technology's impact, Linda, who is Senegalese-Lebanese and currently based in Dakar, delves into how it can either perpetuate inequality or stimulate reflection on the profound philosophical dimensions of techno-capitalism. Dounia's artistic aspirations are entwined with envisioning futures steeped in solarpunk ideals, embracing degrowth, and championing decolonization.
