Painting

"A contemplative visual journey into the depths of solitude and daily routine, where 'the painting' transforms from a mere object into a mirror reflecting the human struggle between the desire to belong and the bitterness of alienation. 'Painting' is a cinematic experience that explores the gap between the self and the other." "رحلة بصرية تأملية في أعماق العزلة والروتين اليومي، حيث تتحول "اللوحة" من مجرد جماد إلى مرآة تعكس الصراع الإنساني بين الرغبة في الانتماء ومرارة الاغتراب. فيلم "لوحة" هو تجربة سينمائية تبحث في المسافة الفاصلة بين الذات والآخر."

The Food on the Table

Now the subjects of a despotic chief, far from having any favor to expect from him, as both themselves and all they have are his property, or at least are considered by him as such, are obliged to receive as a favor what he relinquishes to them of their own property. He does them justice when he strips them. He treats them with mercy when he suffers them to live. In a beautiful house, during a beautiful day, next to a library with no books, a table is set for the last supper of its inhabitants.
