Echoes of Water
Explores the fragile bond between humans and nature.
This complex has no green space, and its greenery is not pleasant. It is not a place to relax. Taking a new twist from my prior works, I no longer seek a place to breathe with this series.
The disconnect from nature has increased the pollution of water. These series of works explores this topic abstractly. I am from a culture that we learned to express themselves indirectly; the pieces are quite abstract. In the Middle East, symbolism and conceptual art have a long history.
Echoes of water explore a new relationship between human beings and nature; I consider nature a non-magical space, approaching it differently from our usual perception of landscapes. In my images, I want to share my visual impressions with the viewer. I am drawn to untouched landscapes. I also show landscapes destroyed by man. I am concerned about the traces humans leave behind. The traces show us where we have been and what impact we have had on the future. It is crucial for us to understand that we are all part of this planet. Where are the traces in the landscape right now of what is happening in the world.
The mystery and significance of water remind us of the urgent need to rekindle our lost connection with this vital element in our modern lives.
