El Mehdi for the second cover story for @atlas__aesthetics Issue01
Through a language of music, imagery, and douceur radicale (radical softness), Moroccan-Canadian artist El Mehdi reclaims the cultural and emotional spaces that continue to shape him. His world mixes Amazigh heritage, pop rhythms, and Arab sounds - reshaping what belonging can look and sound like.
