As an immigrant, living ''between both worlds'' has almost become a catchphrase. Bridging the gap between cultures or at the very least, presenting it as an issue is inevitable. contemporary Aboriginal artists face many difficulties in terms of identity and technology in Native Art. The same can be said about artists from third world countries, as well as any immigrant living in a technologically advanced area. Balancing both heritage and technological awareness is challenging. There exists a dangerous misconception that technology is synonymous to civilization creating many prejudices and in turn debate and argument between cultures. A civilization should not be judges based on the totality of technological advancement produced but rather in relation to what people have created with tools and material at hand.

The duality makes up my personality which is bound to present itself in my art making.

My concerns are with identity, belonging, memory and questions the notion of home. This while juxtaposing the solid and the organic, the planned and the accidental thus, presenting the unexpected.

As preliminary source material, I use photography I have taken with Lomographic cameras such as the Action Sampler, a basic 35 mm, and the Holga, a camera that makes use of 120 mm film. The image quality is supporting the subject matter in terms of its rough and sketch-like resolution, which coincides with the reality of the country, the audience therefore is offered an outlook on Aleppo, one of the oldest cities in the world. Portraying many ruins of the country. Architecture dating from the Roman through the Ottoman empire. Scene of castles and ruins and their effect on the lives of the people in the area making them moving, floating objects with the help of the semi-transparent paper.

My work does not only concentrate on the architecture but also presents moments from the daily life of my people, I present their city, simple yet rich. Describing peaceful landscapes of deteriorating wonders. Creating an ephemeral world where art is made for people's sake or if for no one else than for the creator alone.
