ARTIST STATEMENT
Art is way of expressing oneself, A self is a long process of evolution, adaptation, self-reflection and being present. I am in myself a human that longs for what comes in oneself, I like to observe life, and it is my source of inspiration. For me art has always something to say, a feeling to express and an opinion that might have an impact. I like to experience sculpting in many different materials as it is interrelated to the subject, for me, material and subject are in a bond. My ultimate subject that I am always passionate to work on is “relationship”, any relation between humans with each other, planets with each other and with humans, humans with nature, nature altogether…
In this sculpture, I delve with a bond between Beirut city and its habitats as one after the explosion, sharing destruction and resilience. Using plaster, the material used for recovering broken bones is an interrelations between destruction and resilience.
