White Phosphorus

White phosphorus is a collection of paintings that I am still working on. That idea came from poems, which I wrote during the recent Israeli war on Gaza Strip. In that period, it was very difficult to me to produce any art work as a self expression of what is happeningin the Strip; because of its brutality. So I started writing some sentimental poems and I was planning to transform them into a piece of art later on.The idea is to show these paintings in one exhibition attached to the poems, through a publication in the form of a book, which shall be published at the opening of the exhibition.
