4me4you Features - "SURFACE TENSION".
Artist: Selome Muleta and Youssra Raouchi.
4me4you recently had the delightful opportunity to explore the captivating works showcased at Addis Fine Art Gallery, featuring the talented artists Selome Muleta and Youssra Raouchi.
Selome Muleta and Youssra Raouchi collaborate to explore the intricate relationship between our bodies and the spaces we inhabit. Their collective journey delves into the essence of belonging, the intricate curation of our inner worlds, and the enigmatic, transient aspects of our identities.
Their artistic narrative unfolds through the interplay of enclosed and expansive spaces, transforming rooms and planes into surreal landscapes that transcend conventional boundaries. Nature emerges as a prominent motif in their shared vision, blurring the lines between wilderness and domesticity, and highlighting the interconnectedness of humanity and ecology. Selome infuses her work with the nurturing essence of nature, portraying it as a source of solace and renewal.
Animals weave through the tapestry of both artists' creations, adding layers of symbolism and complexity. Selome's feline companions, integral to her personal life, merge the domestic with the wild, bridging the gap between human spaces and natural realms. Meanwhile, Youssra's portrayal of animals evokes a sense of tension and foreboding, symbolising the fragmented facets of the human experience.
Both artists embrace the discomfort of contorted bodies, portraying them in vulnerable yet mesmerising poses that challenge conventional notions of embodiment. Bodies intertwine and merge with their surroundings, blurring the boundaries between self and environment. Drawing from their expertise in fine art, Selome and Youssra manipulate form and perspective to craft immersive worlds that invite introspection.
Selome employs colour and transparency to blend foreground and background, illustrating our inherent connection to our surroundings. Similarly, Youssra plays with perceptions of distance, blurring the delineation between interior and exterior spaces. In their rich and intimate compositions, space and body become inseparable, inviting viewers on a journey of self-discovery and reflection in moments of solitude.
Do some surface features on Enceladus roll like a conveyor belt? A leading interpretation of images taken of Saturn's most explosive moon indicate that they do. This form of asymmetric tectonic activity, very unusual on Earth, likely holds clues to the internal structure of Enceladus, which may contain subsurface seas where life might be able to develop. Pictured above is a composite of 28 images taken by the robotic Cassini spacecraft in 2008 just after swooping by the ice-spewing orb. Inspection of these images show clear tectonic displacements where large portions of the surface all appear to move all in one direction. On the image right appears one of the most prominent tectonic divides: Labtayt Sulci, a canyon about one kilometer deep. The small magnitude of Enceladus' wobble as it orbits Saturn might indicate damping by a globally extending underground ocean layer. via NASA ift.tt/1iFN28I
Built in 1960, this Classical Revival-style building features a red brick exterior with stone trim, a tall front portico with Ionic fluted columns, a front pediment, and an architrave with the words “Citizens Home & Savings Assn.” etched into it, along with 1889, the date the bank was founded, and 1960, the year the building was built, with a sandstone facade at the rear of the portico featuring three large bays with aluminum storefronts, an aluminum and glass front vestibule, recessed panels with stars, and fluted Ionic pilasters and engaged columns, a cornice with modillions, a parapet clad in sandstone, sandstone quoins, a sandstone base, and three large storefront openings on the side facades with sandstone trim, with two similar window openings on the rear, plus an entrance door and a drive-through window. The building no longer houses a bank, but instead, houses offices for the adjacent University Hospital - Amherst.

4me4you Features - ‘PANAME’.
Artist: Nick Smith
Based in Scotland, Nick Smith is a renowned contemporary artist celebrated for his unmistakable pixelated style. Through his art, Smith ventures into the captivating realm where imagery meets pixels, blending elements of fine art with facets of popular culture.
Recently, 4me4you had the delightful opportunity to explore the RHODES Contemporary Gallery, where the works of artist Nick Smith were on display.
For more than ten years, Smith has meticulously refined his artistic approach, embarking on a journey of exploration that began in 2011 with his innovative experiments in abstraction and collage. It all started with an audacious endeavour: reconstructing Warhol's iconic Marilyn using only colour swatches. This marked the genesis of Smith's artistic odyssey and the emergence of his distinctive style.
By harnessing the power of colour swatches, Smith delves into the convergence of imagery and language. This fusion enables a multifaceted exploration of contemporary cultural icons and historical art concepts. Often narrative in nature, the textual component of his work beckons the viewer to delve beyond the surface.
Positioned beneath or amid the colour swatches, the words disrupt the empty spaces between the patches of pigment. This additional layer of language either challenges or complements the accompanying imagery, beckoning the viewer closer—quite literally. Ranging from expansive compositions to intricate details, Smith's creations play with scale. From afar, the pixelated 'image' emerges, while the words remain legible only upon closer inspection. This manipulation of perspective invites viewers to engage with his art on a tangible level, inciting contemplation.

4me4you Features “moments of a hairstyle..”
Designers: Vin & Omi
4me4you recently had the opportunity to go backstage and capture the "moments of a hairstyle" during a unique fashion presentation, offering a glimpse into the creative process behind the scenes.
We are not just a fashion label, we are an ideology” ~ VIN + OMI
VIN + OMI, an award-winning fashion design duo based in London, are renowned for their groundbreaking and sustainable approach to fashion.
Their work stands out not just for its aesthetic innovation but also for its deep commitment to environmental consciousness. Here’s an overview of their distinctive contributions to the fashion world:
1.Sustainable Textiles: VIN + OMI have carved out a niche in the fashion industry by using unconventional materials, including garden waste from none other than King Charles’ estate.
2.They've innovatively transformed these materials, such as nettles, into textiles and garments. Their dedication to sustainability is a hallmark of their collections, which have been prominently featured at London Fashion Week.
3.Influential Roots: The duo’s style is heavily influenced by the underground club scene of the 1980s, reflecting a punk ethos that they have carried into their work.
4.Despite these roots, VIN + OMI have successfully collaborated with some of the biggest names in fashion, including Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton.
5.Their designs have dressed cultural icons like Kate Moss, Lady Gaga, and even former First Lady Michelle Obama, highlighting their broad appeal and influence.
6.The Sting Project: One of their most notable initiatives is the Sting project, which focuses on creating textiles and fashion processes using stinging nettles.
7.They’ve sourced these nettles from Prince Charles’ Highgrove estate, turning them into an extraordinary collection that was showcased at London Fashion Week. This project underscores their ability to blend sustainability with high fashion.
8.Ideologists and System-Challengers: Beyond their fashion creations, VIN + OMI see themselves as ideologists, fabric inventors, and creative thinkers. They constantly challenge conventional norms within the fashion industry and beyond, even extending their innovative spirit into the realm of feature filmmaking.
In essence, VIN + OMI are more than just fashion designers—they are pioneers in the movement towards a more sustainable and thoughtful approach to fashion, pushing boundaries and redefining what it means to be a designer in today’s world.

Byward Tower, Bell Tower and the western defences of the Tower of London
Identification
This photograph concentrates on the south-western defensive corner of the Tower of London, showing several different phases of the fortress particularly clearly.
The main features are:
Byward Tower – the large twin-round-towered gatehouse on the right.
Bell Tower – the older circular tower immediately left of Byward Tower, identifiable by the small white belfry on its roof.
Beauchamp Tower – partly visible at the extreme left.
The King’s House and Tower Green residences – the red-tiled roofs and numerous brick chimneys visible behind the inner wall.
The Outer Curtain Wall – the crenellated stone wall running across the foreground.
The dry moat – occupying the bottom of the photograph.
Importantly, the twin-towered gateway on the right is Byward Tower, not the Bloody Tower. Byward Tower forms part of the principal western entrance route into the fortress. Historic England dates it to 1275–85, during Edward I’s great expansion of the Tower.
Location and viewpoint
Tower of London
Tower Hill
London EC3N 4AB
England
The photograph was taken from the western side of the Tower, looking across the dry moat towards the inner and outer defensive walls.
It continues naturally from your preceding photograph, but with the camera turned farther towards the south-western entrance. This brings Byward Tower into full view while the White Tower itself has largely disappeared to the left.
Byward Tower
The massive gateway on the right is Byward Tower, one of the most important surviving parts of Edward I’s late-13th-century fortifications.
Historic England dates the tower to approximately 1275–85. Its central entrance passage is flanked by two cylindrical towers, with rectangular structures to the rear.
It stands at the south-west corner of the outer curtain wall and guards the inner end of the causeway across the moat. At the opposite end of that causeway is Middle Tower, creating a succession of fortified gateways through which anyone approaching the castle from Tower Hill had to pass.
The actual entrance arch can be seen low down between the two round towers in your photograph.
A formidable medieval checkpoint
Byward Tower was far more than an ornamental entrance.
Its gate passage was designed so that attackers could be trapped and stopped before reaching the interior of the fortress. The sequence of gateway, moat, walls and additional towers made a direct assault from the west exceptionally difficult.
The two large round towers visible here would also have allowed defenders to command the approach from several directions.
Bell Tower
Immediately left of Byward Tower and slightly farther inside the fortress is the rounded Bell Tower.
It can be identified particularly easily in your photograph by the little white timber belfry projecting above its roofline.
The Bell Tower is considerably older than Byward Tower. Historic England dates it to the first major enlargement of the Tower in the 1190s, when it stood close to the contemporary bank of the Thames.
Historic England's listing of the inner curtain wall places the Bell Tower and adjacent early curtain wall around c.1170–1200, making this one of the oldest surviving structures in the fortress after the Norman White Tower itself.
The bell from which the tower takes its name was used to signal important events within the fortress, including alarms and the daily routine of opening and closing the Tower.
The King’s House
Behind the walls is the long group of steep red-tiled roofs and tall brick chimneys.
Part of this complex is the historic building long known as the Queen’s House, renamed the King’s House after the proclamation of King Charles III in September 2022. Historic Royal Palaces describes it as part of a group of timber-framed houses built during the 16th century.
Historic England identifies it as the former Lieutenant’s Lodgings, built in the mid-16th century, incorporating even earlier medieval fabric.
The house faces Tower Green on its inner side and is today the official residence associated with the Constable of the Tower.
Guy Fawkes connection
The house also has an important connection with the Gunpowder Plot of 1605.
Historic Royal Palaces records that Guy Fawkes was imprisoned and interrogated in the Queen’s House after being discovered beneath Parliament with barrels of gunpowder.
So the apparently domestic chimneys and tiled roofs visible above the fortress walls belong to buildings associated with some of the Tower's most dramatic political history.
Beauchamp Tower
At the extreme left is part of the large Beauchamp Tower, projecting from the western inner curtain wall.
It was built around 1281 during the reign of Edward I, at approximately the same time as the outer defences and Byward Tower were being constructed.
Its later fame came primarily from its use as accommodation for important prisoners.
Unlike the stereotypical image of prisoners being thrown into underground dungeons, people of rank at the Tower were frequently confined in rooms within towers such as this one.
The Beauchamp Tower is particularly famous for the graffiti carved into its stone walls by Tudor prisoners, some of which survives in extraordinary condition. Historic Royal Palaces specifically highlights carvings left by prisoners held there during the religious and political turmoil of the Tudor period.
The Outer Curtain Wall
The long crenellated wall dominating the lower half of your photograph is the Outer Curtain Wall.
Much of this defensive system was constructed for Edward I between about 1275 and 1285, creating another complete defensive ring outside the earlier inner fortifications.
The Tower therefore became a concentric castle: an attacker who penetrated the outer wall would still face another fortified wall and towers before reaching the central White Tower and royal buildings.
Historic Royal Palaces describes the fortress as having two concentric rings of stone walls – the Inner Curtain Wall and Outer Curtain Wall.
Your photograph shows this arrangement particularly well: the lower wall occupies the foreground, while the Bell Tower, Beauchamp Tower and buildings of the Inner Ward rise behind it.
Why this photograph is especially useful
This is actually a better photograph for understanding the Tower's medieval defensive architecture than a simple picture of the White Tower.
It contains three major stages of construction:
Bell Tower – late 12th century
One of the earliest expansions beyond William the Conqueror's original fortress.
Beauchamp Tower and Byward Tower – late 13th century
Part of Edward I's transformation of the site into a sophisticated concentric castle.
King’s House and Tower Green buildings – 16th and 17th centuries
Evidence of the Tower continuing to function as a residential, administrative and state-prison complex long after its principal medieval fortifications had been completed.
Flickr-style description
Byward Tower and the Western Defences – Tower of London, England
View across the dry moat towards the south-western defences of the Tower of London, dominated on the right by the twin cylindrical towers of Byward Tower.
Byward Tower was constructed during the reign of Edward I around 1275–85 as part of a major expansion that created the Tower's outer defensive ring. Positioned at the south-west corner of the fortress, it guards the inner end of the causeway across the moat and forms part of the historic main entrance route into the Tower.
Immediately to its left is the rounded Bell Tower, identifiable by the small white belfry projecting above its roof. Dating from the late 12th century, it belongs to an earlier expansion of the fortress and is one of the oldest surviving structures at the Tower after the White Tower itself.
At the extreme left is part of the Beauchamp Tower, built around 1281 and subsequently famous for housing high-status prisoners, many of whom carved inscriptions into its walls.
Behind the fortifications are the red-tiled roofs and tall chimneys of the buildings around Tower Green, including the historic King’s House, formerly known as the Queen’s House. The mid-16th-century building originated as the Lieutenant's Lodgings and has associations with prisoners including Guy Fawkes.
The photograph is particularly valuable because it clearly shows the layered nature of the Tower of London: late-12th-century defences, Edward I’s great 13th-century outer fortifications and later Tudor residences all survive together within the same view.
