Artist's Statement
DONKEY ……THE JOURNEY OF PEACE WITH HUMANITY
The donkey has a symbolic and historical heritage in
Egypt. My approach was based on the historical
significance of the donkey in human civilization, such
as its unique role in the Holy Family trip (Virgin Mary
and Jesus Christ) that was an historic event that
carried a message of peace and love to humanity. It was
a role the donkey was given above all animals because of
its distinctive characteristics.
I am artistically celebrating the donkey’s unique
history using technical formulations that rely on texts
inspired by ancient Egyptian beliefs, from the dawn of
human consciousness, that are linked to peace and morals
adopted by Egyptians from early times until today. The
text is:
I did not pollute the Nile water
I did not kill any body
I did not steal any thing
I did not cut the tree
I did not take bread from the mouths of children
I did not prevent water from its source
I was not evil
