I am a multidisciplinary visual artist originally from Lebanon and now based in Los Angeles, shaped by a life of migration between Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Texas, and California due to war and economic hardship. These experiences—learning a new language, adapting to new cultures, and navigating contrasting social norms—led me to art as a refuge and a means of processing identity, resilience, and transformation. Trained in illustration at the California College of the Arts and working across printmaking, painting, and drawing, my practice blends my Lebanese heritage with American culture, drawing from anthropology, personal healing, and the natural world. Through surreal imagery of women, animals, and nature, my work explores nostalgia, cultural duality, and the delicate balance between struggle and hope, confronting both the beauty and darker forces that shape our identities within social, political, and racial contexts.
