Light in the darkness

Now I realized the reason why I had become greatly excited when I had started cutting colored papers, Chiyogami, and created a mind-scape art work. I had envisioned a future and wished to express an invisible world and its beautiful light joyfully to share and appreciate it with many people. I thought ‘if I were to be able to take a photo as what I envisioned was truly beautiful’. When Lebanon was bombed by Israel’s army, the city that I was nominated as a permanent citizen of was destroyed and many people died and I could chin up out of an overwhelming sadness as I heard a voice coming from my internality that as a person who knew a great sadness I had something to do. Then I started to express the most beautiful light of life and light-vision of my internality as a means to became unified at heart with Lebanese people transcending a big distance in space. This was how I came to create what I called the mind-scape art works. Later while I have been visiting many countries I always brought with me my works as presents and people responded with extreme joy at heart in an unusual manner. So I came to acknowledge that our internality could be connected to anybody on earth. Today also a person with a solemn look became very friendly and talked to me with a big smile as soon as he had noticed my marbling art work. Though outside was cold and dark, when our beautiful internality would be expressed, this would change the outer world into light full of hope. I became assured to have acknowledged that our expressions of internality were the key for changing our world that would make wonderful things happen. To my great joy my mind-scape art works have been unifying people all over the world.
