Architecture has the unique ability to illustrate the narrative of its occupants. Recording traces of the lives and memories that took place within, it captures a moment’s particular emotion into a physical presence. If art is a record of history, I aim to capture and record in my work the raw and pained spirit of that moment in history and to depict the anguish and loss of life’s valuable moments occurring in conflict areas globally. As I believe artists are the critics of society, their works should depict both a society’s glory and immorality.

By day, an architect collaborating in the creation of elegant, modern buildings.

By night, an artist memorializing (in models) the violent destruction of my native Syria.

As possible, a volunteer supporting Syrian refugees establish new lives in the US.
