Ayla Hibri (b. 1987) is a visual artist from Beirut, Lebanon currently based between Amman and Beirut. For the last decade Hibri has been in constant travel, shifting environments to maintain a continuum of displacement and discovery. She has collected an expansive archive of visual data on the psychogeography of places and the ubiquitous aspects of the human condition. In parallel she paints and draws creatures and worlds far removed from this one, driven by the matter of dreams and active imagination.
