I speak up through my art on topics like women’s rights in the MENA region. I highlight women from the region who are creating an impact in their fields, speak on the climate crisis that is present, bring awareness to revolutions that are breaking out. I use my voice to tell stories that matter, stories of those who are silenced, stories that shake us to the core and speak our truth.
Has social media helped you to progress your goals as an artist?
It definitely tore down borders for me. My work is shared across them and is able to reach people all around the world, which is truly the most emotional reward. The impact of visual storytelling is far greater than we understand and know, it always blows me away when people reach out and thank me for creating art that speaks to them, art that they see themselves in, or art that brings awareness to what is happening around us. I also believe we all have a social responsibility in this day and age and social media is the outlet to spread awareness and truth on.
What do you want people to feel when they see your artworks?
