Plain Eye View
oil pastel on paper
45.7 x 61.0cm
The abstract approach to capturing the bird’s eye view of Egyptian land serves to demonstrate my perspective and relationship with the country. The vibrant colors emphasize the beauty, while the lack of clarity in the details present the unfamiliarity.

Praying Mat
mixed media of yarn, cloth, and beads
40.6 x 29.8cm
The woven mat, inspired by traditional Egyptian praying mats, has orderly colors and patterns. Rather than creating a traditional mosaic image in the middle, the pattern is used to portray religion as a consistent aspect in my cultural life.
