Her practice includes (but is not limited to) performance art, installation art, writing, public interferences, and painting; working with left-overs and natural findings, she uses reclaimed, natural & off-the-grid material such as earth pigments, found wood or recycled paper, seeds, plants, and her own body, together with reclaimed immaterial such as movement, sound, time/memory, herstory and dreams. After being selected for a full grant, ella received her Masters degree in “Art in Public Spheres” from Ecole Cantonale d’Art du Valais (ECAV, Switzerland) in 2014, with great distinction, and had won several prizes along the years, namely the Installation Prize at the Modern And Contemporary Art Museum in Lebanon (MACAM), and the Excellency Prize from the University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HES.SO), Western Switzerland.
