““I don’t have enough time to tie my end to my beginning.’
MAHMOUD DARWISH
I have been engaged in a conversation with myself for a long time, trying to understand how and why I got here.
I did not have a formal art education, never considered the reality of being an artist. It was the years I spent in my father’s house, the house with four walls, which trained my eye. As a child I looked at things with great concentration. I memorized the steps that defined the day: the sun coming up, the shadows changing, night swallowing daylight and then the darkness. I did not realize that this would one day become my vocabulary, a form of artistic expression.”
