Hala Abubaker is an Arab artist currently residing in Ohio, United States. She obtained her BA in Visual Arts from the University of Jordan in 2013 and is currently pursuing her MFA degree in Sculpture + Expanded Media at Ohio University.

Her work focuses on the human condition, from social identity and status, or the lack of, to post-colonialist theories, and social dynamics. Exploring the implications of external influence on the human psyche and its prevalence in collective consciousness, conveying the underlying structures that shapes and situates the identity of indoctrinated ideological dogmas is central to her practice.

She uses her work to shift perceptions and assert connection in the collective consciousness. From her background in sculpture, Abubaker creates objects and object-based installations as well as non-narrative video and photography to illustrate her concepts. Her process is based on research and observations of the social and geopolitical status of her surrounding environment.

Her upbringing as an Arab woman observing the turmoil that raved her region formed the need to understand the underlying structures that construct the concepts of the self in society, becoming conscious of an immense need for reflection over the human condition in different situations, and gradually, in different histories and cultures.

She works with woven fabrics, body casting, lights, reflections, and metal structures to pursue her concepts. She has participated in several exhibitions and residencies in Jordan, Europe, and the United States.
