Ella Mayamothi Sommeil is a British-based photographer and director whose work moves between fine art and commissioned contexts. Informed by her Guadeloupean and Bangladeshi heritage, her practice explores themes of comfort, identity and displacement; often engaging with the complexity of longing and cultural memory.
Ella’s process is both intuitive and research led; working with medium format photography, moving image and sound, she creates spaces for reflection and intimacy. Through layered visual worlds built from archives, textiles, books and landscapes; she considers the afterlives of colonialism and the aesthetics of her experience.
