What is most striking about Aïda’s World is 9 series is perhaps the comment that we hear most about "Fragments", which is the surprise that it is not a painting. The mistaken identification of the medium speaks to how different her practice is - from the vibrant primary colors, sharp geometric shapes, and powerful figures, the worlds she builds is most often ascribed to a painting than a photograph.
The representation of figures furthers the point by breaking away from photography as a medium for ethnographical means by bringing agency to the characters created in her world.
