AIDA x Dora Dalila Cheffi Kissing Fish Amulet

AIDA x Dora Dalila Cheffi Kissing Fish Amulet is a tribute to love and companionship, reimagining the nostalgic friendship pendants of the 90s with a modern Tunisian twist. Taking inspiration from the fish’s role as a symbol of protection in Tunisian culture, these two fish swim freely yet remain whole on their own.

Together, they form a symbol of strength and unity, celebrating relationships in all their forms—even the bond we share with ourselves.

Wear it as a reminder of the beauty of companionship, or gift it to someone who inspires your connection to love.

Dora Dalila Cheffi (b. 1990, Helsinki) lives and works between Tunis and Helsinki. Her work encompasses painting, video and installation.

Initially trained in art education, in which she obtained a BA from Aalto University School of Art, Design, and Architecture, where she also studied sculpture and painting, her practice developed to encompass a practice that centres on a highly personal approach to painting and video. Much of Cheffi’s work centres around observations and immediate experience, which are translated into works characterised by vivid colours and forms.

Her artwork has been part of group shows with Nuoret 2023, MACAAL – Museum of African Contemporary Art Al Maaden, Villa Medici, Talan L’Expo, Subliminal Projects, Selma Feriani Gallery, Institut finlandais, and shown online with Other Space by Andersen’s Contemporary and Taymour Grahne Projects.

She’s currently working on a new body of work that consists of a video piece and series of paintings. Some of the pieces will be produced during her residency period at the Serlachius Residency in Finland and first exhibited at the Wusum Gallery in Doha and at the Porvoo Art Hall.
