Objet trouvé, or found object, is the process of creating art from undisguised, but often modified, objects.
Ali Nur Said is the only Journalist of this group who was a photographer. I have used a found object, in this case a Polaroid camera from the 1960’s, and converted it into a small shrine for him. I removed the electronics from the camera and repurpose these components to make an interior montage of gears, resistors, springs and a small pixelated photo of Ali Nur Siad.
Freelance Somali cameraman Ali Nur Siad, 31, was killed in a deadly attack in Mogadishu on October 14, 2017, while on assignment for Voice of America.
