What Remains in Memory

Rameez Mazen’s pieces often delve into the notion of memory and our attachment to it— how memory is carved into our bones before it is carried in our minds. She’s interested in the way memory lingers in gesture, in language, in the mundane habits and practices of the ones we love. These poems are small reflections of that: fragments of what remains, what is passed down, what is carried.

Rameez Mazen is a Saudi artist from Jeddah. Her work moves between digital art and poetry, often blending the two to tell stories that feel both personal and collective. Her pieces carry threads of longing, culture, displacement, and memory. Through this weaving of image and word, she creates a space for herself, one where she can express what cannot always be spoken aloud. Her art becomes a kind of shelter, a way of returning to places that no longer exist in the same way but still live on through feeling.

Rameez was commissioned to draw the cover art for “Anyway, Don’t Be a Stranger: A Collection of Poetry & Prose” and has been featured on The Lunar Inn magazine numerous times. Follow her on Instagram.
