Mohammad Tayyeb is a Los Angeles-based multidisciplinary artist working in performance, visual art, mixed media collage, and community centered projects. Their practice brings fragments into relation, including histories, inheritances, and dispersed ways of knowing. Through ritual and sound, body and voice serve as vessels for memory, proximity, and care, and as portals into states of oneness. Through collage, Tayyeb gathers printed matter, archival fragments, textiles, and found materials into forms where joining is intentional and process remains visible. Drawn to thresholds where absence meets presence, they attend to what lingers just out of frame. The work is a ritual of return and an ongoing attempt to grasp self, the world, and the time they live in, and to move within a larger orbit.
