Artist Statement
The story of creation…. Heaven and Hell, Light and Shadow. People don’t have colors except black and white…although there are a lot of other colors… there are Gray, Blue and Red… unseen and superstition in religion and business and merchants of religion… oh they don’t have products. You are going to find people who are confused. They don’t know they are lost or spin, a mask Nekab or sea bathing suit. Oh we are going to live only once… and the goal of Geddo, Egypt’s fate was depending on it… Egypt! Egypt is beautiful and beauty is Egypt… it’s going to solve all our problems… housing, instead of reading for all, it would be housing for all, bread for all, working for all and health care for all. Isn’t this better than reading for all! Beauty of Egypt is a wonderful article but why are we not rising! Rising… Rising… yeah he is a liar… Didn’t he say that the health insurance would cover all the people!! All citizens! Now people are paying a lot to have a health insurance… yeah he is a liar…I have heard him myself saying that! Anyway Mubarak Ramadan- you take care of yourself find a place to pray it’s not my business. All the people are sitting in the cafes and eating Macaroni Harmony. The most beautiful thing is Macaroni Harmony. It’s also great to live in a coma. This Macaroni by the way brings coma because its name is Macaroni Harmony. Try it once and tell me what do you think… meaningless talk…
