Ikram Hamdi Mansour (DZ) is an eco-architect, independent researcher, and cultural practitioner based in Algiers, Algeria. Her focus centres on sensory awareness and nature connection practices to reconcile the sacred relationship between humans and the natural realm. 

Her project Matter in Reciprocity examines the interdependence of soil and water as agents shaping material and cultural systems. Their interaction reveals processes of cohesion, erosion, and regeneration that define ecological and spatial formation. Soil embodies continuity and rootedness, while water introduces motion and transformation. Together, they challenge static conceptions of territory, permanence, and belonging. This inquiry repositions land as an active, responsive medium shaped by elemental reciprocity.
