Siden sommeren 2016 har jeg primært levet, arbejdet og rejst i Mellemøsten hvor jeg har lavet projekter af forskelig art. De forskelige vægmalerier i de Syriske flygtningelejre i Akkar, Libanon såvel som projekter andre steder er forsøg på at skabe sammen med de menesker der er der, hvem end de er, hvor end de måtte komme fra og hvad end deres situation måtte være.

Houses, Wallpaintings, Syrian Refugeecamps, Akkar, North Lebanon, 2017 / 2018
The people, mainly kids, where asked to each paint a house of own choice. As the number of houses developed the many individual houses turned into a city making the individual house/painting becoming a part of a bigger collective city/painting. The individual effort becoming a part of a bigger picture so to say.

After painting the ciy of Aleppo in this Camp it showed that most of the inhabitans here was from the city of Homs..(!) After quite a few requests I decided to also paint their City. I asked one of them, an Calligrapher ( and hairdresser ) from Homs, to do a Calligraphy on the painting. It says “Homs, City of peace.

In this wall piece I incorporated different elements from the kids drawings so their drawings in a sense would become a part of the fairytale or story of the painting itself.
