About

Sabrina Charehbili (1992) presents projects that explore the relationship between humans, nature, and perception—spaces where organic and inorganic elements merge into visually striking compositions.

In her ongoing project, she turns her lens toward Morocco and her own perceptions, examining the interplay between memory, identity, and landscape. With roots in both the Netherlands and Morocco, Sabrina moves freely between different worlds, unbound by a single cultural identity. This multifaceted background enriches her ability to craft unique narratives and reveal deeper layers of connection.

Her work is a continuous journey of discovery—a search for meaning in the world around her. It reflects the mutual dependency between humans and nature and challenges established concepts and associations. Inspired by emotions, observations, and personal experiences, she creates visual stories that blur the boundaries between reality and imagination.

Sabrina’s work has appeared in Pf Fotografie Magazine, Focus Magazine, NRC, and Het Financieele Dagblad, among others. She is represented by Galerie Helder.

Artist Statement

As a photographer, I carefully observe the world around me and reflect on the interrelationships between people, nature, and the environment.

I aim to break through standard representations of significant social themes, such as environmental pollution. By depicting these themes in a light-hearted, informal, and visually powerful way, I add my own substantive and aesthetic twist. I strive to tell a layered story, highlighting the issue without explicitly labeling it as a problem.

My intention is to inspire people to engage with these challenging topics in a positive way. One example is my photo series on plastic waste, shot on the picturesque coasts of Alicante and Tenerife. In this series, I transform plastic and the beach into dynamic, colorful allegories, creating a new reality. Changed by nature, the plastic takes on a new aesthetic identity and meaning, inviting us to look at it differently: to see plastic not only as waste, but also as potential for a new beginning.

With my work, I aim to transform and enrich everyday reality, revealing hidden layers of meaning, emotion, and beauty, while inviting others to experience the world from a new perspective.
