“Having lived in the Middle East for the first 15 years of
my life, I mainly focuse on creating art that relates to the
events that are going on there right now; in particular,
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Before I moved to the US, I
used to participate in a lot of protests, rallies, and parades
against the ongoing violence between the two sides. I
have seen a lot of unfortunate things, which led my
wanting to do all I can to spread awareness of the
situation and try to make a difference. This is a social
justice issue that I am most passionate about.”

“Spending one year in Florence, Italy working on my
Masters degree in Interior Design inspired many things
in me. One was photography. I became interested in
how each of us sees the same things, but views them
differently. This was an opportunity to show others
what I see.”
