A cornerstone of my practice is creating artwork from dirt, rock, and other earth-derived materials gathered from specific places, allowing each work to carry the physical presence and memory of its origin. This approach took on profound personal significance after I immigrated to the United States and began creating works from the dirt, sand, and rock of my native Egypt.
