Artwork Description

 The digital paintings in the YAFA series are a group of stills harvested at various dates from a program that I wrote in the C language between 1992 and 1996. The program essentially converts the keyboard into a piano-like instrument that I used at performance events jamming with musicians. Seven such examples from such performance were recorded and are viewable on my channel on YouTube. The YAFA series is a homage to the city of my childhood.

Yafa, an important Palestinian port known as 'Bride of the Sea,' it is where I spent the formative years of my childhood. Crisp bright enjoyable memories remain with me and deeply affect my painting and writing. The blue sky over the blue Mediterranean, private gardens full of flowers, my sister in a baby carriage while my mother stops to talk to a beautiful friend wearing a yellow chiffon scarf fashionably veiling her face. And as the years of the Nakbe approached, I remember experiences of growing Zionist terrorism.
