Double Mnemonic Seal (2021) is a compelling artwork that delves into the formation and deconstruction of social, cultural and political systems. El-Sayegh employs a technique of collaging fragments, including newsprint, advertisements and calligraphy, to create layered compositions that question established meanings and power dynamics.
In Double Mnemonic Seal, she skillfully assembles disparate elements to challenge and reinterpret existing narratives. The piece utilizes materials such as latex and text to explore the
relationships between parts and wholes, inviting viewers to engage with the complexities of fragmented information.
El-Sayegh’s work encourages audiences to critically examine cultural narratives and derive their own interpretations, reflecting her broader interest in how meaning emerges from fragmented systems. Through Double Mnemonic Seal, she fosters a dialogue on representation and understanding within contemporary society.
