In her installation, Untitled, Ibrahim presents a series of monotype and inkjet prints mounted to circular wood panels. The imagery of the prints is inspired by imagery from magazine advertisements which are digitally manipulated to exaggerate the dots and pixels of the halftone patterns of the original source imagery.
Through her abstraction, Ibrahim amplifies the irregular and unexpected “glitches” from the original image, obscuring it beyond direct recognition. When these magnified halftone patterns are layered over top of a monotype print, they create a vibrating sensation, almost as if viewing a television screen from too close a distance.
