reunion

This group of paintings was the first work I created immediately after my arrival from Damascus. At that time, I didn’t have a studio or a place to work. In my small room, I hung the canvas on the wall next to my bed, with my only suitcase, some scattered belongings, and many bags of anxiety and hesitation. I did not know that working on memory would become my obsession in the following years.

The Authentic Keeper

He who has memory knows exactly how to conjure the past, even after the victim has been forgotten and the revolutions have subsided… Therefore, the methodology of conflicts has invested in forgetfulness since time immemorial, as memory is the source of truth and the executioner’s nightmare.

من يملك الذاكرة يعرف تماماً كيف يُستحضَرُ الماضي، حتى بعد أن تُنسى الضحية وتخمد الثورات… لذلك فإن منهجية الصراعات استثمرت في النسيان منذ الأزل، فالذاكرة هي زاد الحقيقة وكابوس الجلاد.
