Artist's Statement
Big Donkey:
On the clouds
29,000LE (US$4,205.00)
The life size donkey sculpture is painted in hues of
greens and blues to convey an oneiric scape between the
sea and the sky. It's spotted with figures resting and
floating on cloudy shapes. As the donkey is culturally
known in Egypt as a main means of transportation, in the
countryside and also in the city, I am using this donkey
here as a vehicle to a fantasy world. Each figure is
travelling on its own cloud and dreaming, yet touching
the cloud of the other at the same time, giving a
feeling of distant connection... each in their own
world, each are connected....with the donkey's back as a
common ground.
Small Donkey:
Moon faces
Acrylic paint and markers on fiberglass.
7,000LE (US$1, 015.00)
The small donkey has been painted in carmen red and
decorated with round glowy faces inspired by the moon's,
giving a feeling of an unexpected spacious scape on a
small donkey's back, using it as a carrier that is not
limited to only people.
