Carlo Massoud’s work stems from his relentless questioning of social, political, cultural, and environmental norms. He often pushes his viewers to question their knowledge of the subject, leading them towards thought-inducing confusion and provocation.
“I am in persistent search for new spaces, ideas, cultures, and destinations, and I actively document, research, and collect information from various sources.”
The exploration of new and unknown places is key to his creations. Through these, he finds new stories to tell and share through collaborating with local artisans and designers, creating a global narrative that stems from unique associations of people, cultures, and materials.
Look at the Chair-ry collection made with her sister Mary-Lynn, we love it!
