The best feeling is walking out of an airport terminal and into the sandalwood embedded air of Cairo and Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, both places have so much history and culture. Egypt is a place where I desire to return and where my soul yearns to stay. A country where I don’t feel rushed, judgement doesn’t carry a weight, and kindness is as common as an interaction between friends. I want to feel free, lively, and weightless. I want to explore the world and leap into the unknown. I will take that over a boring and repetitive daily routine, I will know I have failed myself when my routine feels reliable and comfortable. My experiences in the country have been personal, so my paintings reflect specific personal moments.
