Once Upon a School



Dave Eggers' wish:
"I wish that you - you personally and every creative individual and organization you know - will find a way to directly engage with a public school in your area and that you'll then tell the story of how you got involved, so that within a year we have 1,000 examples of innovative public - private partnerships."

Life Repeated,


it is another feeling we no longer sense, or are you still? it is a phenomena which can lead to a mental belief, that, the story of one's life can be repeated in another, either inherited father to son or just happened to be the same in a completely different context.

and i think it somehow coincides with an Arabic saying about the similarity of the physical features between some people: "40 born in the same look". or in another level with the theory of universals in the platonic realism.



acting... the tendency to simulate others.




then what is difference? is it only a time-related feature?

Luis Bunuel

If you're interested in cinema this is a really nice documentary about Luis Bunuel, a Spanish filmmaker who established his major work in Mexico and France. I like the way he presents his characters and it gave me a view on how a film back then is expressed and considered.

4th day on this!

Constructing a full resolution map of Kuwait City, and it is burning my time like hell. I do it by saving zoomed in images from Google Earth and place them next to each other like a puzzle. I am sitting still doing it while thinking of all the other stuff i have to do. pray for me to finish!

Change: Changed: Changing: Changes

We had a movement project in photography class, and I thought of going to the theater, I set the shutter speed on 30 seconds and directed my lens towards the audience while they were getting in. This room is actually full, but they appear as ghosts as they move. The only one was shown is the one who was sitting on the closest chair to me.

There is a very common saying in Kuwait: "may god never changes our state", we usually say it when we're satisfied with our life. A second thought came to mind after being through a lot, that yes I have changed, but I am not regretting it! I have changed and I am still changing. I think the state I am explaining is perfectly demonstrated in this photo experiment. people don't like it when you change because they can't see clearly who you are, their relief is when you settle even if you're not doing a lot in the static state. In the static state -as in the photo: sitting- they can call you a name, you think it is yours, afterwards you realize -or not- that they call you with the number of your chair.

Why it is shameful for a person to change his/her mind? it is natural. And humans are the paradoxical statement of nature. Unfortunately.

Another insensible idiom of change, that it has a single critical point. A moment of either, or. Then in your whole life you have lived two states, I think he or she only changed their chair.
