“Art & Biodiversity”
Wild Lebanese Orchids 
 "Orchis Morio Libani M1"

Won the 2008 Juror's Choice Award from the Mosaic Arts International 2008

 
Inspired by the Photographs of Khaled Sleem
and
   Supported by IBSAR, AUB American University of Beirut
www.Ibsar.com  
 
 
The “Wild Lebanese Orchids Series” is my new project of Mosaics, Sculptures, Watercolors and Oil Paintings.
It is my joy to study and admire the beauty of these wild orchids from my homeland in all of their shapes forms and colors.
 
I never knew that wild orchids exist in Lebanon. The photographs of Khaled Sleem were so beautiful, interesting, and inspiring.
“A photo is a document that the thing is there, that it exists. By filming nature you can capture it, take it with you, make it
your own, and show it to others without destroying it”. IBSAR, AUB
 
After reading about IBSAR, AUB and learning about biodiversity and the need of nature conservation, I decided on working to help,
through art and my love of nature, other individuals to better understand the value of biodiversity and being concerned about
protecting our nature anywhere in the world.
To learn more about IBSAR, American University of Beirut, visit: www.ibsar.org
 
"Orchis Morio Libani M1" was selected from more then 400 entries from 7 different countries. 64 were only accepted to be in the show.
I am very thankful to receive this award for my new series "Art and Biodiversity/ Wild Lebanese Orchids". It is my honor to represent some of my country's beauty, even if I can only represent it artistically.  
  
Mosaic Arts International 2008 exhibition will run April 3 - April 30th at the Bakehouse Art Complex in Miami, FL.
