Artist Statement
The “Collective Memory-Middle East” series uniquely explores Middle Eastern heritage, history, and culture. Through a captivating blend of collage and painting, this series uncovers the intricate layers of everyday life that form the rich tapestry of this diverse region.
This visual odyssey amplifies the voices of ordinary individuals, often overshadowed by broader historical narratives. By assembling fragments of time, memories, and cultural symbols, I create a dynamic tapestry reflecting Middle Eastern identity’s intricate and multifaceted nature. This narrative is not just about the past but about you, us, and everyone in this diverse story.
The canvas becomes a living chronicle, bridging past and present, with each piece metaphorically representing the complex layers of history. The compositions, rich with textures, colours, and symbolism, invite viewers to engage in a dialogue that transcends time and geography, immersing them in the joys and challenges faced by the people of this region.
“Collective Memory – Middle East” is a visual symphony that celebrates the enduring beauty of everyday existence and the resilience ingrained in Middle Eastern culture. It is a tribute to the unsung heroes and a call to connect and empathize with their stories. It illuminates the shared humanity that unites us all and uplifts our spirits with the beauty and resilience of everyday life.
