My works are not linked with everyday needs and necessities. According to me, Ceramics are not for the purposes of decorating the exteriors of food plates, water pots or vases, but they are aesthetic valuables in their own right, with roots that go back to Sumerian wall decorations and the Islamic art of mosaic which is rich in the Iraqi cultural environment. I consider the base of the Ceramic as a window displaying fixed memories about those aesthetic items I went through and which are sometimes linked with a scene from everyday life.
