I stare, at myself and the people around me. Reflections; we are. Reflections; we’ve become. Floating images reflecting one another in a subtle platform of beings. I stare… In doubt, questioning the clarity of these reflections; the validity of the images they reveal, and the authenticity of the impressions they seem to impose. In [...]

There’s a song assigned to every memory; a melody that brings the past back to life. Retrieved and revived. I close my eyes as it plays. I fall back into the midst of remembrance. My playlist shuffles; and so do my memories. Suddenly; I am served my own choice of location, and emotions. My eyelids [...]
The canvas stands bare and blank. White; temptingly irritating. She stares, as memories stir up emotions she’s tried to suppress, stirs up an unexplained urge of unleashing her feelings, into something else but words. Words expose too much. Words have failed her. Or, she has rather failed them. Her words ran silent, ran weak; lacking [...]
Talk. You have every right to. Talk. You owe it to your feelings and the people around you. They deserve to know. Anything; everything. I still reminisce. I still remember. I still wonder, What if…?

letting go is hard. Holding on was even harder to start with. And that makes the latter one of the ugliest decisions ever. I barely get committed, and when I do, then that’s a huge leap. Because when I do, it becomes a priority that grows in importance with time. Choosing to crumble the whole [...]
Events have been escalating ever since 18-February which held the Karim Khouzam mourning stand. The stand grew into a protest which demanded the removal of the two memorial tablets carrying the ex-president’s name and building another one for the martyr, Karim. Along with that came chants against the Supreme Council of Armed Forces and how [...]
The world bursts in noise. Everything is so hectic and everyone is in a rush on their call to nothing. Tension builds up and stress comes along to drive the people into madness. Peace escapes into us, and hides deep within, so deep that we almost forgot it existed. A thousand things on everyone’s mind, [...]
I never really draw stick men. But sometimes there’s no point of adding a deep edge to the drawing. What’s the use when what we feel is just too simple to be trapped within too many lines and shades… Sometimes all you need to bring out how you feel in a drawing is no [...]
