STATEMENT

I investigate how war is staged, how migration is instrumentalized, and how media constructs the reality we believe we see.

As a European artist shaped by Syrian and German contexts, my practice operates within the tension between lived experience and its representation. Rather than illustrating conflict, I analyze the systems that produce its images, circulate its narratives, and anchor them in public consciousness.

Working across large scale installations, sound, and interventions in public space, I translate mediated symbols of crisis into physical encounters. By relocating these images into everyday environments, my works function as disruptions revealing how violence is framed, how fear is produced, and how political realities are performed and perceived.

Research and historical material form a central part of my practice. I engage with archives, artifacts, and inherited narratives not as fixed records, but as constructed forms shaped by ideology, selection, and repetition. In this way, history itself becomes a medium one that is continuously edited, reinterpreted, and instrumentalized.

I approach culture as a dynamic process of translation, appropriation, and negotiation. Within this shifting field, I examine how identities are constructed under pressure, how memory is produced and revised, and how “the other” is continuously generated through framing and projection.

My work does not seek to represent or resolve. It creates situations of confrontation in which viewers become implicated forced to reflect on their own position within the circulation of images, narratives, and power.
