Guerresi's work presents an intimate perspective on the spirituality of human beings and their relationship to their inner mystical dimension.
[8] Guerresi's images are delicate narratives with fluid sequencing, and an appreciation of shared humanity beyond borders – psychological, cultural, religious and political.
Recurrent metaphors such as milk, light, the hijab, trees, and contrasting white and black create awareness of the vital unifying qualities of Islamic spirituality, while Guerresi's work's embrace of hybrid spirituality and African, Asian, and European cultural ancestry ultimately reflects that of her global approach to both art and life.
Her work has been extensively exhibited in solo and group shows all over Europe, Africa, the United States, Asia, and the Middle East.
