Artist Statement:

I believe that the climate of the region is

almost Felted by radars , watchtowers and

sensors which drain the freedom and the

movement of the objects and creatures on a

small portion of our planet, where the first

steps have been started to leave this warm

and intimate portion, the birds left the

trees, air, and water, and has become the

land of no life and without features of

civilization which were prevalent in the

world of knowledge and art, and two rivers

which were the pulse of that civilization.

What was your starting point or your

inspiration for doing this project?

There is a basic point which is more

important than politics and religion, It is a

right. Rights to freedom and how it

influenced dumb wars on humanity in all

societies have exerted a negative

What kind of feelings do you wish to convey

to the viewers of your work?

I wish to convey my worries about the

Middle East in general and between two

rivers in particular.

If you could give your jewelry to an

important figure in the Middle East, who

will he/she be, and why?

I would like to give it to the Unknown

Soldier, because he is only and the most

honest person.
