B. 1982, Beirut. Lives and works in New York.

Rhea’s work focuses on deconstructing the urban landscape with an emphasis on public walls and the role they play in our daily lives. The enriching dialogue created around and upon walls allow her to explore various themes such as history, displacement, identity, communication, architecture and the environment. Although mainly photographic, her practice also includes painting, printmaking, public street installations and a particular appreciation for creating unique, limited edition artist books.
