3. I AM AN ARAB-AMERICAN, A PALESTINIAN CHRISTIAN, THE ELDEST SON OF TWO REFUGEES, AND AN ARTIST. USING ART AS A WEAPON, I CHALLENGE AND RESIST PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS OF RACE, SEX, COMMUNITY, GOVERNMENT, AND GOD B HOLDING NO ASPECT OF MY CULTURES TOO SACRED TO EXAMINE. IT IS ONLY THROUGH THIS METHOD OF INTROSPECTION, EXPLORATION, HONEST CRITIQUE, AND RAW PORTRAYAL OF EMOTION, THAT I AM ABLE TO STAND FIRM IN MY BELIEF THAT ART MATTERS. SCHOOLED IN THE HISTORY AND PRACTICE OF FINE ARTS AND FEATURED IN BOTH MAINSTREAM AND UNDERGROUND GALLERIES AND EXHIBITIONS, I CONTINUE TO EXPERIMENT WITH THE CREATION OF ART THAT I BELIEVE HAS THE POWER TO INVOKE CRITICAL FREE THOUGHT B OR, AT THE VERY LEAST, QUESTION.
