I’m an Egyptian American artist and designer deeply inspired by science, philosophy, religion, and history—ways we search for meaning and try to understand our place in the universe. My work draws from microbiology, neurology, cosmology, physics, and ideas like assembly theory and consciousness studies. I believe consciousness is fundamental—not just something we have, but something that shapes how we experience reality. Through abstract forms, patterns, and movement, I explore the tension between what we can measure and what we feel, creating pieces that reflect both the structure of the universe and the inner world of perception and inviting viewers to take a closer look.

I graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York City with a BFA in Graphic Design and have spent over two decades working across the creative industry. I grew up in New Jersey, studied and started my career in New York, and now live in Los Angeles, where I work as a Creative Director for a publicly traded software company. My art practice runs in parallel, rooted in curiosity, cross-disciplinary thinking, and a constant search for deeper understanding.

I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to apply for the Summer Residency by Abstract Mag, regardless of the outcome. The process itself has inspired me to reflect deeply on my personal work and the direction of my private studies. The south of France has always held a special place in my heart, and the chance to create, collaborate with others, and immerse myself there would be a dream fulfilled—a moment to share my art and my whole self with the world. I’ve long envisioned a space where art, science, philosophy, consciousness, and religion come together to explore and express truth, and this residency represents a meaningful step toward that vision.
