ABOUT
I am a Lebanese visual artist born in Sidon in 1981. I graduated in 2003 from the Lebanese American University in Beirut with a BS in Graphic Design and obtained an MA in Fine Art in 2012 from Chelsea College of Arts in London. Having grown up during the civil war, I question the relationship with a country in continuous conflict. How does one identify with a land while having spent most of childhood indoors? In my interdisciplinary work ranging from drawing, painting to sculpture, I find refuge and answers within the parameters of my own home. The world of the domestic, from dust to walls and everything in between, has become the most familiar fertile ground for artistic discourse.
