Ghada Chamma explores slowness, calm and concentration through painting, particularly in response to the arduous transition period of great social-economic and political instability following the Tunisian revolution. Ghada composes her works using small details and slow movements, often directed by the rhythm of breath. Taking time to foster vital energy around her allows Ghada to push back against the chaotic speed and efficiency of everyday life.
