Accessing her formal training as a graphic designer, Koko has expanded her
interest beyond creating objects of funct ion to creating objects of artistic
expression while maintaining the design-based aesthetic and procedures of earlier training.
Though these published series' style + content differ, they are intelligent and
eloquent dialogues and narratives that make innocent, childlike attempts to negotiate society.

The current series, Topography of Thoughts, the journey begins in Paris 2002 anxiously
asking the question, "THEN WHAT?" When the future is all you have because the present, post 9/11 offered
little, the artist learns that we are the architects of our own lives and our future identities
can only be carved by first accepting
the concept of our present landscapes and finding the courage to continue the story of our lives.
In my last series, ColorForms, the artist researches the rawness and beauty in the
ways that cultures clash and converge. She does this by identifying her own heritaage as
a first generation Moroccan Jew. By looking at her own personal history
and looking at America, then travels abroad to discover
her ignorance as a westerner.
