Ebecho Muslimova’s work centers around Fatebe, an uninhibited character, who subsumes the neuroses and anxieties of her creator. This screenprint with relief depicts Fatebe blasting toward the moon over an atmospheric haze in a brazen display of sexuality, vulnerability and humor.

Fatebe’s physical contortions and unpredictable quandaries play themselves out like performances. Each work depicts a single event that uncannily combines self-consciousness, comedy and vulnerability.

Writing in CURA., Natasha Stagg says of Fatebe: “As her life continues, Fatebe is faced with newly articulated objects, stretched over landscapes that are populated with new temptations and ghosts. With adoring precision, Muslimova codifies the echoes of domesticity, luxury, nature, education, psychology, fetish and art itself—images that have the capacity to haunt her. Nothing can deter Fatebe, though. From her gleeful smile, we can assume that her convictions only gain momentum with every new opportunity to test them.”
