Drawing > Two Loops Meet and Become Moroccan Slippers

These Moroccan Slippers are a kind of a self-portrait.
In 2022 I visited the Moroccan desert. I was born in Egypt. Maybe that’s why I love deserts and most things Middle Eastern. Later in 2022 I was in Nantucket for my art residency. I love islands and crashing waves. Being in that atmosphere my mind was free to wander beyond thumbnails in my sketchbook. When I saw two loops, simple curved lines, meeting, they instantaneously became slippers, Moroccan Slippers. Rustic, colorful, friendly, volumes made with sensitive, quivering colored pencil lines.
