Doha, Qatar
A blend of physical and digital creativity that critiques what is tangible and what is on the screen, when it comes to an occupied territorial memory.
I am fascinated with delving into in-depth explorations of topics I am concerned with. This notion helps me comprehend the issue personally and it is part of my practice, I would only feel free when I develop a relationship by familiarizing myself with the subject matter. Starting with research and moving onto experimentation and exploration in many ways we know of, by Studying one subject matter as a whole, delving into all aspects of research within the same realm.
I tend to explore thematic connections varying from sociological, political, and personal, linking it to my research practice which consists of exploring archives, listening to sounds, going outside for a walk, and reading a book, the process tends to be poetic and philosophical, with influences from Western and Palestinian literature, which are sometimes reflected in my practice. I tend to explore personal thematic connections varying from, socio-politics, gender, and geography which all tie in together when making work about the Palestinian displacement and occupation.
Whether choosing the material, style, or medium, they all must somehow serve a purpose to my concept. Despite working with traditional materials in my art practice, I developed my voice and expression through contemporary explorations of analog sound, photography, mixed-media animation, printmaking, sculpture, scanography, and filmmaking. As an example, I combine natural and man-made processes and mediums that are emphasized through my work as a both traditional and contemporary artist. At the end of the day, my work could be a form of resistance, expression, or simply story-telling.
