Hobby

I like to travel :-}
I believe that traveling to and living in multiple countries has greatly influenced the person I am. I also believe that experiencing other countries besides the one which we live in is an essential part of being who we really are and realizing what we love about life. the more you find to love, the more enriching life becomes. Being in one place your whole life does not give you any real knowledge of what is out there. Being fed information from even the most trusted sources will never have the power to make a person experience and learn. so if you want to learn, experience everything you can experience.

Poster Project

Kurdistan is where I'm from!
Not that everyone doesn't already know...
I was born there and lived there until I was about 9 years old. I miss Kurdistan a lot and my favorite thing about it is the land. the rolling green land in the spring is breath-taking. some of my family still live over there, so that makes me miss this place even more.
And every human being that I've met who has had Kurdish food will tell you; we have the most delicious food in the world =.p

Second Assignment =.}

I chose this image because it is made up of my own artwork. when I googled my name, my own art came up because nothing else comes up in relation to my name that's bigger than 2 inches. I chose the first image of a girl (my older cousin) who means a lot to me. I am very close to her and she has saved my life over and over again. In many ways, she has helped me define myself in life which is why I chose her image for this project. The second image I edited onto the first is of a decorative mask worn by a woman. I chose to put it over Lana's face because while she helps me with my own life, she is always hiding behind a mask of her own, keeping me and everyone else from seeing her real emotions. this issue affects me in many ways because I can never get through to someone who is so positively involved in my life. The text is relating the fact that I use my own art for almost everything because I am proud of what I do and how art is affecting my life everyday. Art is simply what I do, and is what I live for.
