Salih Albarrak is an architect/artist based in Los Angeles, he has a profound interest in the overlap between storytelling, enchantment, and architecture. This journey has allowed him to construct a fabric of works and techniques, effectively capturing the essence of speculative social and political structures that reside on the fringes of reality—hovering tantalizingly between the otherworldly and the ethereal. Within his artistic practice, he passionately challenges the established behaviors of earthly systems, meticulously excavating the excess of conditions that dwell on the precipice of the subliminal. He utilizes the non-sensory experience of the spirit and dream-like states as both design tools and strategies to reintroduce an element of mysticism and transience into the practice of world-building. Salih engages in projects that provoke questioning the frameworks of fantasy to dissect the intimate bonds between collective delusion, magick, and transience.
