My photography is a journey of self-discovery, weaving diverse images that embody my evolving artistic voice and unique perspective. Each photograph is a transformative canvas where abstract concepts become visually captivating art that resonates with human experiences, provoking thought and reflection. Inspired by Van Gogh, I use vivid colors and emotive forms to evoke a painterly quality, channeling resilience and emotions shaped by my upbringing in Lebanon's tumultuous environment.
I strive to inspire transformative explorations, encouraging individuals to embrace dreams, unity, and creativity. Through immersive experiences, participants explore themes of resilience and harmony, engaging with art and architecture to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. This journey fosters hope and boundless possibilities, inviting a collective movement towards a more harmonious future.
As a generalist photographer, I traverse various genres, capturing the essence of wildlife, architecture, landscapes, portraits, and street scenes. I am captivated by both the starkness of black and white and the allure of vibrant, minimalistic designs, finding beauty in both extremes. My work on street performers highlights the dynamics of movement, reflecting my insatiable curiosity and desire to explore new photographic styles and avenues.
With each click of the shutter, I uncover new facets of my creative voice, embracing various styles with an open heart and mind, eager to explore the uncharted territories of my self-exploration journey through photography.
