Despite being grateful for having found refuge, the darkness of that period is always in my head. My art reflects my psychological state during that process of becoming a refugee. The stories they share are not necessarily only personal, but these are experiences shared by most refugees; those who lost something inside them. It is also for my Syrian brothers and sisters still stuck in refugee camps. These works helped me realize I was not alone and there are millions experiencing what I’m feeling. The common traumas we face as Syrians. This is my attempt at dealing with this general toxic energy that has overcome us. I would be happy if you took your time examining what you see, and I wish all my fellow Syrians the best.”
