“Self Portrait as an Arab-American”
This series is created through found photography and digital painting, and measure 11” squared, each a limited edition of eleven.
It explores figureless figurations through the juxtaposition of iconic clothing from the Middle East and Americana.
As an Arab-American who was born to a father, born and raised in Texas, and a Mother, who was born and raised in Damascus, Syria, this series is a personal commentary on multiculturalism, as well as a satire on stereotypes.
This series builds upon a much larger body of work that seeks to evoke dialogue on multiculturalism, internationalism, and humanism and explores paradoxes in an increasingly global society.
