Me and Josef Albers hangin' out.
STORY TIME
I am an odd mix of things.
My dad was born in Egypt and my mom was born on an airforce base in Ohio.
And just like my parents, the things I love don’t belong together.
I love art films and rom coms. I love Egyptian Molokhia and In N’ Out burgers.
I especially love finding humor where it’s not supposed to be.
And when I’m lucky, it shows up in my work.
