Ghaida’s graduation project was hosted by L’Atelier D’Alexandrie In 2016. She has also joined a year-long educational program at MASS Alexandria academy under the supervision of artist Wael Shawky, where she participated in the MASS exhibition and their 27th annual Youth Salon. In the course of her studies she participated in various exhibitions locally and internationally. Also after her graduation Ghaida has participated in several group exhibitions.

Her process began by simple static geometrical shapes, and as she layered the different shapes, they gradually morphed into organic dynamic formations. Similar to a continuum, each stage feeds into the one that precedes it. Ghaida’s work developed without the constraints of time and place. She implores the change in the evolution of life as she believes all of creation is connected. From Ghaida’s spontaneous experiments, she birthed her mythical interpretation of the origins of animals, plants and the evolution of life as we know it.
