We're all Connected

In this body of work, I continue to investigate the landscape of my current direct environment in the UAE, as well as during my travels. The photographs are an initial start, and then with layers of color drawing media, ink and/or thread, I transform these images into a different form and narrative.

These drawings/photographs explore the concept of “we’re all connected”—this to me is vast and fluid. In this little world of ours, we’re all connected, spiritually, physically, and emotionally. One action affects the action of another, both positive and negative. This connectedness can be both instrumental in the act of doing good, and providing kindness and care, as well as in the reverse if our actions are derivative of the opposite energy in negativity and selfishness. Being interconnected is both hidden and concealed, and it is when one quiets the mind and heart that it can be felt.
