I am a Jordanian artist, sculptor and painter, who started drawing at the age of four. As a child, drawing created a language for me through which I used to communicate how I see the world. It was my favorite and easiest method to express myself as words, ; as I grew up art and painting specifically became the way I can communicate with myself and understand my inner thoughts and feelings. Art gradually took a greater part of my life. My academic journey with arts started with me studying graphic design then , I enrolled myself in the University of Jordan, department of Fine Visual Arts , sculpturing set an eye on me. I always think that sculpturing chose me and not vice versa, It is often that I start with an idea set in mind, then instead of my fingers guiding my work into the final shape, the material guides me through the whole project. When I’m sculpturing, I find myself isolated from all else. I find myself detached from the world outside and dive into each battle as if it is all that exists. The unwanted parts of my work always fight back, and the removed parts find their way back in different shapes and spots. The peace that my fingertips taste as the final form is brought to life is indescribable. Most of my work revolves around mother nature and other interesting forms of life around us, like animals. My most beloved part of this whole beautiful war is when my finished sculptures look at me smiling with the same kind of peacefulness they made me feel. It is common sense to think they would not exist without me, but for me; if not for them, I would not have been able to exist.
