Artist Statement
My practice explores how invisible forces shape perception, emotion, and human presence.
I am interested in the unstable space between what is physically visible and what is psychologically experienced - where material reality intersects with intangible sensation. Through kinetic systems, sound, airflow, light, reflection, and atmospheric environments, I create installations that reveal hidden structures of awareness and interaction.
Many of my works originate from scientific or mechanical principles, yet they move beyond functionality into perceptual experience. I approach movement as a condition of instability - a way to activate anticipation, vulnerability, and heightened sensory awareness within space.
I see installations as living systems rather than static objects. The viewer does not simply observe the work but enters into a dynamic relationship with it. Presence, absence, breath, shadow, resonance, and environmental transformation become active materials that continuously reshape the experience itself.
Growing up within the diverse landscapes of southern Saudi Arabia deeply influenced my understanding of atmosphere, scale, silence, and temporality. These environmental conditions continue to inform my approach to spatial perception and sensory experience.
Ultimately, my work examines how unseen systems - physical, emotional, technological, and environmental - shape the way we experience ourselves and the world around us
Inanimate Presence
I am interested in how inanimate systems can appear psychologically or emotionally alive through movement, tension, light, sound, and perception. My work explores the unstable boundary between material presence and intangible experience - where objects begin to behave less like static forms and more like living conditions within space. Through kinetic, atmospheric, and sensory installations, I investigate how invisible forces shape awareness, emotion, and human interaction. Rather than creating fixed objects, I construct environments that continuously shift through movement, time, and the presence of the viewer. These works do not attempt to imitate life directly but instead examine how perception itself can transform matter into something seemingly animate, unstable, or psychologically active.
Medium
My work combines kinetic systems, sound, light, airflow, reflection, and responsive environments to construct immersive perceptual experiences. Working across sculpture, atmospheric installation, and spatial intervention, I use movement as a condition of instability rather than spectacle - allowing physical systems to influence emotion, awareness, and sensory perception. I often integrate mechanical structures, custom-built systems, industrial materials, and environmental phenomena into installations that continuously shift through time, interaction, and presence. Rather than focusing on a single material or discipline, my practice moves fluidly between art, engineering, atmosphere, and perceptual experience.
