My multi-faceted and three-dimensional pieces were conceived to infuse light through the cracks of our Lebanese gloom: in the presence of light, darkness will not prevail. Using traditional clay with a contemporary twist, I express these openings through broken lines, tension in the structure, vibrant or subdued colors. My lines flow from delicate to bold, and thick to thin. I overlap clay and overlay glaze to deepen the visual expression of Lebanese resilience: Out every crack, comes about the Lebanese wizardry of unsurpassed and transformative ability to sore. It is a personal and challenging experience to make something vibrant out of a seemingly lifeless and inert clay slab, because in every fracture there is light.
