Statement:
In recent work, I am trying to explore the arab & oriental identity, through
the discovery of ancient, but never the less, prevalent aesthetics. My
current theme is called 'The Beautiful Sadness', that speaks about the
glorification of sadness in Arabia. I work with film, animation, design, and
fine art.
