Press Release

“In April 2023, I woke up on the shores of the Red Sea to a golden sun. Hazyblue mountains slowly appeared, rising from the water, a still capsule of timetraveling through the warmth of the visible light spectrum, of which I fellasleep , submerged in water, beneath shadowed mountains, shielded from thedeafening blast of Beirut port explosion on the fourth of august 2020.Returning to the Dahab-Nuweibaa road, I encountered an ochre and burntumber desert landscape.”
