POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
My first group exhibition was held in 2022 at the E.V. Gallery in New York City, NY, USA. For three days, a photo from “the Mirage” collection was on display to the public. Many artists from across the Middle East participated in the exhibition.

This collection is inspired by the story of my grandmother and her palm tree, “Khoda-daad.”

|Statement Summary|
In the Middle Eastern culture, when it comes to counting palm trees, one refers each tree as a person. We open up our feelings to them, talk and argue with them, and surprisingly they respond to us. As to how important these trees are considered in our culture, one needs to remind the fact that cutting them down is officially forbidden by the law, unless you plant another one. This photo is from a series named “Mirage”. The Mirage is a reminder of the time when I was struggling with some mental difficulties, and at the same time needed some help.
