ART IS A VITAL PART OF SOCIETY

For Nacera, art is a vital part of society. Art makes a community come together to understand and question the ideals and actions of that community. At best, art can remove boundaries of race, age, politics, and language; and prompt discussion.
Nacera paints the passions and energies that influence our ideas or seek to direct our efforts. She pushes and pulls imagery out of her various mediums, sometimes enhancing a perceived part of a face, figure, or animal. The artist molds and works a viscous paint or plaster into the image of her strong emotion. Her work is always a reaction to an emotion, event, dream, or awareness.
