Maria Abdullaeva (b. 1998) is an interdisciplinary artist working with photography, sculpture, and poetry. Her practice explores typology, archiving, and the transformation of personal experience into material forms. Her projects begin with chance encounters, travel, collected phrases, dreams, urban environments, and field research. Moving between documentary and magical realism, she explores how memory transform personal narratives.
