Adham Badawy
“The cultural and historical heritage of papyrus was an impetus for me to draw closer to our identity and how to present it in a modern context. Ancient Egyptians considered nature’s gifts, such as papyrus, as holy, and emphasized its simplicity and dainty texture; it’s very simplicity is an inspiration for the art our ancestors created.”

Adham continues to highlight the links between past and present, the acquired and the habitual, and reformulates these through his artworks encased in a contemporary vision.
