My artistic journey explores themes of art history, individual and shared cultural identities, personal narratives, materiality, and critical history, incorporating a diverse range of materials significant in their engagement with Middle Eastern and North African-American communities through the lens of my new American identity.
Guided by experimentation and intuition, my practice celebrates storytelling and abstraction through the accumulation and adaptation of formal elements and figurative abstractions, exploring sustainable materials including acrylic paint, mosaic, and porcelain tiles while maintaining a distinct personal voice to encourage cultural understanding and connection.
My works are democratic spaces—free of illusion—where anything can exist. Beginning with a sketch, I build a composition through spontaneous layers of acrylic, spray paint, mosaic, tiles, and sustainable materials, reflecting both the evolution of American culture and my own hybrid identity.
