    Our memories work in a funny way that we mostly remember the things that stand out, the odd things… Have you ever met someone who spoke to animals in the most natural way as if animals understood every word they said? I have. This boy in this 15 year old film scan was the camel…

    They say that whatever you do while alive on this planet is printed in the astral light of it, in its archives, waiting to be tuned to and accessed… I remember one time while working in Paris and on a quieter morning at the Louvre, standing in front of the Mona Lisa gazing at her…

Government buildings, houses of religion, temples, Egypt… The first thing that I registered when looking at Egyptian art is how large everything is, how oppressively daunting it is.

    Like so many other developing countries, many children in Egypt have to work to make a living. On my journey to Egypt I met and communicated with so many children and for some reason, it is these encounters that stayed alive in me till today. Children’s eyes can tell it how it is, the truth.…
