Sought-after photographer Mous Lamrabat is a master of hybridity, expertly splicing together symbols from his Moroccan heritage and Muslim faith with Western brands and pop culture in his bright and joyful portraits. The positivity his work exudes makes it not only irresistible, but slyly thought-provoking too. Lambrabat hopes his success lays the groundwork for the third-culture kids to come. "I love where I'm from. My life goal is to show that we are creative and we're moving with everyone else. We are here and we have the right to be ourselves." [More]

Mous Lamrabat's online exhibition "Sir Mix A Lot" runs from May 6 - June 14 on Artskop.com.
