My work speaks about the concept of identity which differs from one individual to another. I recognized from my experience that even artists look at the Identity from a variety of aspects. However, what people believe about their identity is the most important factor. As a Muslim, Arabic artist, I see my identity in my religion, and my language.
Through my journey ,I realized that identity is dynamic. The components of identity changes and differs based on the circumstances we live. In addition, I recognized that it is very difficult for individuals to stick with their identity without being influenced by the culture that is surrounding them. However, it is not impossible for them to hold and preserve the fundamental elements of identity such as religion and language.
I have demonstrated through my art work that Islamic Arabic ideas far exceeded my visual expectation. Despite the impact of modern life and the events that were happening around me here in the USA, my art work embodies my cultural identity. The experiences and challenges I faced when I transitioned from one culture to another one are reflected in my body of ceramic work.
My message of identity speaks through my art. By using the language of ceramic art, I have given my voice for all who believes in identity.
