My practice is poetic exploration of a way of life. It resembles an archeological process of digging and searching into my roots to come to better understanding of self in a ritual act of painting and drawing. For me, it is an act of survival and mediation to discover other dimensions of life. My inspiration comes from poetic verses about life and love and expands through my own cultural heritage, customs, and language. By utilizing Assyrian alphabets in my compositions, I aim to reintroduce the aesthetic values of a language in creating calligraphic compositions and patterns. In my paintings, I like to utilize wash and drip effect to portray history and aging of the language. In contrast, bright and vibrant alphabets to represent my hope for its survival.
