My studio is where I explore ideas through calligraphy, graffiti, color, and juxtaposition. I often begin with calligraphy, using tracing, digital design, or design by hand.
I experiment with materials and techniques until each piece finds its rhythm. Layering is an essential part of my process. I work in stages, adding, blending, and shifting direction. Some pieces evolve over weeks; others come together faster. Each series holds a different energy and story.
'احذروا موتنا في الجنوب'
ـــ جودت فخر الدين
"Beware our death in the South." These words by Lebanese poet Jawdat Fakhreddine were written in 1978 and still resonate. They hold the memory of war, occupation, and the land that refuses erasure. The South speaks through its trees, its soil, and its people.
من قصيدة: إلى صديق عائد إلى حلب
ـــ زينة هاشم بيك
"No one survives their country." This line by Lebanese poet Zeina Hashem Beck is a reflection on immigration and how our countries keep haunting us even after we leave them. It's from her poem titled "To a Friend Returning to Aleppo."
