I work primarily with painting, audio, photo, and video editing. My current work examines the notions of gender, masculinity, and self-representation on social media in the ever-changing cultural and political dynamics in the Arab world, specifically Gulf countries.

I explore those themes through my experimentation with motion glitches and distortions of my paintings, photographs I’ve taken, or collected photographs from social media platforms and gender portrayal imagery from encountered cultural and religious books.
