Siege

"And I am the traveller within me, and I am the one besieged by dualities." Mahmoud Darwish

Within my paintings, there are trapped figures whose movements are restrained and confined within invisible boundaries. I am not sure how I created them could it be linked to my constant feeling of being trapped within a certain frame? Do I perceive these scenes myself, or are they reflections of my father's perspective placed within my mind?

My brush confines what lies within the frame, while my films document my attempts to escape it—just as I, too, strive to break free from the same inner captivity.

I have often wished to fly like butterflies, those creatures that never realize they can transform from tiny caterpillars, imprisoned in cocoons, into beautiful beings that soar freely
