A set of oil monoprints generated by applying paint on plates and running prints through a press. I continue to update this, and usually it communicates to my architectural work in the studio.
I have done some extensive traveling while living abroad. I've lived in Europe, the United States, and of course my home-country Kuwait and the surrounding MENA region. This brought with it exposure to architecture from all over the world. Here is an attempt at documenting some of my travels.
