Noor Hisham Alsaif practices art at the intersection of visual memory and cinematic language, with a focused interest in interior spaces, framing, and everyday elements charged with temporal and emotional resonance. Her work approaches each composition as a cinematic frame, reconfiguring the relationship between human presence and space through layered structures, composition, and narrative suggestion.
Noor’s work engages with themes of home, rooms, and familiar objects as sites shaped by time and social transformation, presented as spaces for reflection and reinterpretation. Her practice blends cinematic perception with fine art methodologies, engaging multiple mediums including painting, installation, and visual text.
The work develops as an ongoing research into individual and collective memory, examining how emotions, stories, and lived experiences migrate through images. This approach aims to produce works that engage with contemporary cultural contexts while offering a sensory and visual reading of the human experience in relation to place and time.

نور هشام السيف، فنانة تشكيلية وناقدة سينمائية، تمارس نور الفن عند تقاطع الذاكرة البصرية واللغة السينمائية، مع اهتمام خاص بالفضاءات الداخلية، الأطر، والعناصر اليومية التي تحمل شحنات زمنية ونفسية. تنطلق أعمالها من تفكيك المشهد باعتباره كادرًا سينمائيًا، حيث تُعاد صياغة العلاقة بين الإنسان والمكان عبر بناء بصري يعتمد على الطبقات، التكوين، والإيحاء السردي.

تتناول أعمال نور مفاهيم البيت، الغرفة، والأشياء المألوفة كمساحات تحتفظ بآثار الزمن والتحولات الاجتماعية، وتُقدَّم باعتبارها مواقع للتأمل وإعادة القراءة. تعتمد ممارستها على المزج بين الإدراك السينمائي وتقنيات الفن التشكيلي، مع انفتاح على وسائط متعددة تشمل الرسم، التركيب، والنص البصري.

يتشكل العمل الفني لدى نور كمساحة بحث مستمرة في الذاكرة الفردية والجماعية، وفي انتقال المشاعر، القصص، والتجارب عبر الصورة. يهدف هذا المسار إلى إنتاج أعمال قادرة على الحوار مع السياقات الثقافية المعاصرة، وتقديم قراءة حسية وبصرية للتجربة الإنسانية في علاقتها بالمكان والزمن.
