​Jamelie Hassan has worked in diverse medias over the decades of her creative work. Recently, she has been working in glass tile mosaic which is labour-intensive and connected to the long-tradition of the art of mosaic created throughout the Mediterranean region. Many of her works in this glass mosaic series are language-based and some others represent graphs, mathematical diagrams and puzzles. This work is inspired by the sudoku puzzle that was published repeatedly in The Globe & Mail newspaper during the early months of the COVID-19 global pandemic and lockdown. A 5-star sudoku player herself, this artwork resonates both in terms of her daily sudoku practice but also her connections to the region and the extensive research she has done related to this ancient art practice.
