This ongoing project questions the daily relations within a society while trying to make some sense of one's own role. How society is steered by a shapeless entity called authority that most often manifests itself through corrupted human nature, broken human relationships, moral and religious codes. This work revolves around the self-attribution of authority to conclude, admit, deny, approve, reject, support or oppose. Everything is brought to question, from the most insignificant freedoms to politics, religion and soccer.

While quantum physics decrees that the observer determines the existence, we can’t not wonder what happens to everything that leaves our field of vision once we turn our gaze. Does what we don’t see really fall out from existence and then, spring back into existence once we look at it again?  

In an attempt to demonstrate this duality, x-rays, made by a radiology specialist, were contact printed over silver gelatin paper that was previously exposed with negatives of the corresponding body part of the artist, photographically captured by a third person.  

The asseverations of this pseudo-scientific research are further elucidated by a philosophical approach towards our incomprehension of the quantum consciousness predicated to all matter, and, at this point, we start to question the function of representation, once it has already been established that the existence can only be determined by the observer.

This project was made for Beirut Art Fair 2018 and shown with Artlab Gallery.  

From the anonymous etching of the actual raft that made land, a rubber stamp has been created and this stamp was used to stamp the passport; that one necessary document that allows you to cross borders, or, in most cases, to hold you outside the real and/or imaginary borders.

This print was made for the collective exhibition "Impressions from an Archive", a collaboration between Beirut Printmaking Studio and the Arab Image Foundation. The show will first show in Liverpool as part of the LAAF 2022 (Liverpool Arab Arts Festival) and later travel through Europe and Lebanon.

The youger generation never knew what this theater (or any theater for that matter) meant. This plate wishes to bring back not the old memories of the glory days of the theater but insted to point out that the neglect seen is a mirror of the neglect of our goverment to its people and even the neglect of the people among themselves.

This print suggest the instaling of a high voltage transformer at the site in order to offer electricity to the site. It is the kind of thing that our leaders would do; offer what is direly needed elsewhere to a place that hasn't any need what-so-ever.

This lack of civic responsability is only another symptom to what took our country into and at the same time keeps our country in such turmoil.

This chair represents the throne, the president's chair in its physical and metaphorical state.

This roll of film was shot in August 1994 and was only developed in December 2017. These photographs were taken in the Basta neighborhood in Beirut. But that is the most the artist can remember about these forgotten people.

Two hundred poster were printed and were made available in this exhibition. Along with the time shift, the artist proposed that every visitor took a poster to hang somewhere on the street, thus allowing for a full shift in space-time.

By floating oil colors on water, we capture the micro formations of these cellular shifts and take an imprint on a small sheet of cotton paper materializing tissue slides from unavailable tissue blocks. Once dry, these slides are labeled with the name of the pathology and further undergo numbering, diagnose, prognosis, date stamp, and final conclusion by the pseudo-pathologist. The slides are incapsulated between two sheets of plexiglass and sealed in place with metal clips in a final attempt to promote the isolation of the malady.

Curiously, these illnesses have one common element that is the lack of any medical treatment or pharmaceuticals to minimize or to revert the prognosis. Alternatives like Bach’s florals, homeopathy, and oriental medicine have also proven to be ineffective across the board. So far, the only proven betterment of the symptoms were achieved by alienating the patients and sending them abroad, to a civilized society, for a period of 18 to 24 months. In some isolated patients, a longer séjour allowed for the prognosis to be completely reverted.

This instalation was made for the P.O.M. (Politics of the Machine), Beirut-2019.

This project was made possible with the help of the software designer Omar Abou Nassif.
