 Omar El Mukhtar

Omar El Mukhtar became a symbol resistance to many Arab nations in an almost 20 year fight against the Italian colonization of Cyrenaica now Eastern Libya. I brought him back once again as an icon of resistance to the tyranny of the Gaddafi regime. |  File not Found Exhibition

Geometric patterns tend to be built mathematically. However it is possible to create similar geometric patterns without the use of complex mathematical systems by overlaying and multiplying the shapes. This technique can also be used with topographical patterns. The one in this example is in Arabic in a typeface I designed back in college. |  Irony of Peace

People tend to separate art. To me art comes in many forms, not just image, vocal or performance but also in every day work. After all a chef is just another way of saying food artist.

As controversial as the name sounds, (Jihad: Arabic for struggle) the logo caused more of a stir with the organizers than the name they’ve picked. Eventually I’ve managed to convince with the meaning of the logo (which I’ll leave to your own interpretation). |  Mohammad Ali effect

Not only was he an outstanding sports man. He was a hero amongst the people standing for human rights and against political injustice. He used his status, wealth and influence to create a positive change for the people.
