Ali Khanafer (Versallya) is a visual artist with a background in interior design, primarily working with drawing as his medium. His work explores the relationship between aesthetics and the physical world, and how this impacts the human condition.

''Drawings often feel unfinished, which challenges your inner boundaries. Instead of focusing on the endpoint, we’re invited to consider new possibilities".

In his practice, repetition, rather than spontaneity, plays a crucial role as he observes the strong connection between recurrence and balance. In his first collaboration with Gems, Versallya unveils "Identity Era" and "Identity Space". The serie explores the concept of identity as a reflection of specific feelings at distinct moments, rather than an all-encompassing psychological state. Given that identity is subject to constant changes, attempting to capture it as a singular way of being would lead to confusion and misunderstanding.
