Moroccan Mint Flavored

"Couple of Humans, Mushrooms, and Algeria"

Algerian culture is much like Moroccan culture—particularly for women, who have similar experiences with both. Women had crucial roles in shaping our cultures, nourishing our ways of life, and freeing our countries from colonization. I made them the center of this piece, standing on who we are today because their history is alive in us.

"A Moroccan Man"

Open to interpretation, this piece can be the embodiment of "The Father" or of the one person we care about deeply. The one person who has affected our lives just by existing and being who they are.

"Moroccan Mint Flavored Boys"

You could almost smell this piece. It hints at our innocence as children.

"In a Recent Time"

Memories are a sad concept. They seem to last forever but disappear here and there, like butterflies.

"The Colored Boy"

This piece attempts to revive the almost forgotten memories we experienced as children throughout different periods of time. We are all children inside, and we not only need to recall those feelings but also embrace them and embrace ourselves and care about who we are as people regardless of race, gender, or religion.
