• Houreya's work is glass sculpture, sculpture, painting & installations; her concept discusses some of ideas like eternity, soul, traditional, mythology and numerical science and their connection peace energy....How female loves. The artist has chosen the field of glass sculpture since the beginning of her career as it is the closest to the philosophical concept associated with everything spiritual and transparent, where the artist saw that the glass sculptures are the closest to the spirit away from each distraction of attention to color, and then made sculptures of hardstones such as granite, basalt and marble as a balance For the fragility that I found in the glass and its formations on digital science linked to the sacred geometry of the ancient Egyptian, which was associated with cosmic
• and astronomical sciences and its relation to the equilibrium and psychological peace of man and nature with her contemporery way, and then returned to the concept of diagnosis again, The bird and the supernatural beings as the beginning of life, such as the goddess Nui, as well as Nutt and the goddess of love and tenderness as Isis, which embodied her in the form of the Bride of the Nile and a lifeboat at the same time, and once in the portrait and on top of her son Horus protects her.
• concepts: • The spirit is what I look for, because it’s the hidden power that move the body we see ,and by the end of our life it become immortal it never die or be weak when we seek it and feel it inside us at this moment all our problem and troubles
• vanish for its impermanent and controlled by time and place and socials factors ,But when we go throw our spirit through its world where there is no time or place combine in it take of its endless power you will find out that you are combine with the hall world , in this infinity moment you will feel happy as no words could tell or describe for your body are fill with light at his moment you will feel the ecstasy of your reborn ,when you return to your life to it again with new consideration came from your spirit , and that where I search to form this world and this power which is endless and can't be shaped or described by any material • I choose to work with all the transparent and pure and from those was the glass for we see its transparently and prunes but we can't describe it ,
• also I search in our heritage art of how was the afterlife and infinity the subject of all our legacy of culture and civilization , and how was arts pulsed with the life of all her secrets to all who respect it and how it challenge all the injustice power which try to heart it, for it was done with love ,peace ,science , respect andsanctification for all noble values and how her styles differ for it doesn't seek for imitation because every age has its different artistic traits which was decided by the artist perception and his knowledge of his age needs and his beliefs and his deepest ideas. • Now As it was in my relationship in the spirit moved my relationship to address the matter and spirit together they are complementary to each other leaving each his secret to the other.... and also searched for the transparency of the Spirit in
• raw materials transparent discussed in the toughness of the material and opacity through the severity of the stone has been preferred in my work-colored stone per basalt, and Marble sump or severe rigidity granite ... It was during that search of raw material for geometric shapes and their relationship to the cosmic mysteries and science of sacred geometry ... which arose from the knowledge of number‌.. I make many dialogues with many kinds of art in many ages with materials I believe with its energy with my new energy of my geometric forms.
