Through carefully staged photographic compositions inspired by the aesthetics of 18th-century painting and Orientalist imagery, the Franco-Moroccan artist explores themes of identity, femininity, and representation. Reinterpreting these historical references through a contemporary lens, her work places women at the center of narratives that question freedom, visibility, and social perception. Blending theatricality, symbolism, and emotion, the photographs create striking visual scenes where elegance and reflection coexist.

Working with layered textiles, transparency and light, Soumiya creates delicate and poetic compositions that evoke themes of memory, transmission and femininity. Her work explores the balance between fragility and strength, weaving together tradition and contemporary expression through richly textured materials. Through subtle details and tactile forms, each creation invites a quiet reflection on identity, heritage and the passage of time.
