Mejri feels we must deconstruct our surroundings and ourselves to be free from the external – to shed light on the difference, as Derrida mentions, to regain control of ourselves and to see objects and our environment for what it does to us, how it shapes us, and how it threatens our existence while at the same time shaping it. His canvases are an exercise in cathartic release, to look inwards and outwards at the same time, so to free ourselves from the shackles of our dogmatic existence.

Mejri visually reduces the human body to its elements, degrading its form to liberate it from any productive force that enslaves it, and to regain control of the elements and objects that have dominated the self.
