Me & My Ex (2023), part of 13 Cents, marks Abdulla Elmaz’s (@abdullaelmaz) entry into the art world through a deeply personal body of work. Situated within a surreal visual language shaped by memory, grief, and identity, the series unfolds as an intimate yet confrontational space, where contradictions coexist and resist resolution. Through evolving motifs and symbolic portraiture, Elmaz explores emotional truth, fragmentation, and reclamation. @bengicaliker Photographed by @abdullaelmaz “It took me way too long to put this to bed.
