The spaces in between.

UNMAPPED

Where are you from?

I never quite know how to answer that. Amman. Palestine. Toronto. Bahrain. New York. Dubai. Each one shaped how I see, how I design, how I paint.

Unmapped is not about one place, but the spaces in between. Memory, movement, and the quiet search for belonging when the map keeps changing. The raw inspiration comes from a mixture of sources including cartography, collaged maps, photographs taken across urban landscapes that move me. Less tied to a specific city. More about what lives between them.

The technique has loosened. Charcoal and pastels over acrylic. New brushes, new edges. An exercise in letting go as much as holding on. I see and dream in shapes, or vignettes.
