"When I arrived in France at the end of 1994, I found myself faced with this immense history of art that I had to look at, understand and digest. Very quickly, I realised that painting was no longer enough to express what I had in mind. I work a lot with the body and I wanted my ideas to be presented more physically and not only through the illusion of the canvas.
Already in Palestine, where I had received an academic art education, I had made some attempts and searched by my own means."
