"I Found My Soul in a Parking Lot" is a series of paintings inspired by all sorts of events and
factors in my life recently. Most significantly, they've come as a response to finding myself in ...
well, a parking lot.
You know that Rumi quote - that one that goes "Which is worth more, a crowd of thousands,
or your own genuine solitude?" Well, removing myself from that "crowd of thousands" for
some reason always led me to an empty parking lot, sitting quietly in my car for the most
welcomed, long, moments of solitude. I did it on Eid, on Christmas, on New Year's, and
every occasion my family-clan uses as an excuse to get together. When you're family
people's like me, sometimes the empty parking lot is the only place to get some
silence and peace, and real soul-searching in.
