Labyrinth

34 etchings on linen (25 x 25 cm each), mounted in Perspex; Al Mahattah Gallery, Ramallah

I try in my work to highlight the fragile human condition, and Palestinian daily life in particular. The formlessness, absence of features and the mystery all signify the loss of stability and the feeling of defeat.

In my recent works, I chose one element within each frame to emphasize the solitude, and sometimes the obligatory exile, and the absence of any feature of stability.
