Ayla El-Moussa is a surreal artist who utilizes film and photography to blend nature, the female form, and the ocean into visual philosophy; while inviting the viewer to examine the intimate workings of the mind while simultaneously contemplating their place in the universe. Her work, which combines expansive drone footage and sensual self-portraiture, bends the artist-muse relationship back on itself to create a visual and conceptual ethos in which each inspires the other. Dubbed the “Queen of Waves” by her following for the way she incorporates the movement and the power of water into her pieces, Ayla’s artistry plays with the psychology of the unconscious mind and mythical storytelling to create dreamlike environments where perspective is pliable, and reflection reigns supreme.
