University of Ottawa
Maria Merheb, born in Beirut, Lebanon in 1997, emigrated with her family to Ottawa in 2013. She is currently completing a BFA in photography at the University of Ottawa. Her practice consists of both discovery and exploration in a specific moment in time. We could think of her work as a psycho-geography, which suspends time and place. Her subtle use of added colour and montaged elements bring the viewer into the rich experience and mental landscape of a new Canadian who has a great deal to say to all of us. She is also the recipient of the 2017 Louise Perry Scholarship.
