Is there a world without wars? Not that I know of…

We all thrive and seek for peace and quiet lives,

Meanwhile, we need to deal with so much agony and pain.

Berthold Brecht started writing when in an instant he dropped his pen and said: "Did you open the newspaper this morning? What can I say when every moment carries news more horrifying than the one before…

In my works, I deal with the conflict of the occupation along with great sensitivity to the Arab spring revolutions. The pain wraps the whole of the middle east including us.

 In my paintings, I describe soldiers fighting demonstrators with smoke grenades while wild dogs and wolves are mingling among the hysterical mob disappearing in smoke. People fighting in unidentified landscapes or a street war in a place that can represent Gaza, While threatening and at the same time also threatened shadowy figures of people and wolves running away from a blast.

The wolves symbolize the absolute other and raise the question Who is the enemy here?

When time to march comes, Many do not know

That the real enemy is the one who marches at the head of the row.

The voice who gives the orders

Is the voice of the enemy

He is the enemy himself.
