My Art Work
Despite The violent recent history of the Middle East, it continues to be a birthplace of Artistic talents, driven by an expression of anger and the wish to escape to calmer shores.
Art, Poetry & Music
After an absence of 25 years, I returned to Iraq in May 2004.
The 17 hours journey by car from Beirut to Baghdad was dangerous, exciting and magical, despite the misery of the prevailing war. In the last 4 years since my visit, my beloved Iraq has sunk deeper into trouble.
It seems that the suffering of ordinary Iraqi people will continue for some time, as the occupied state is torn by greed, ignorance, selfishness and incompetence.
Pray with me for better days ahead in Iraq.
