                   the world has changed, and conflicts have evolved
                   even as they continue. But humanity everywhere
                   in  the  world  rejects  these  foolish  decisions,
                   especially  artists.  They  stand  united  towards
                   spreading peace, goodness and humanity, and I
                   am one of them. I am planning a new project,
                   which is to establish an artistic media platform
                   on social media to promote humanitarian ideas
                   and support artistic works.

                   Overall, I am excited to be part of this global
                   resurgence  of  creativity  and  look  forward
                   to  contributing  to  the  cultural  landscape
                   in  meaningful  and  influential  ways.  By
                   harnessing the power of art and collaboration,
                   I  am  confident  that  we  can  create  a  bright,
                   inclusive,  and  hopeful  future  for  generations
                   to come.


                   You  were  recently  invited  to  participate  in  a
                   conference in Baghdad. What do you consider
                   the main “take-away” for yourself on a personal
                   level?
                   That was the Conference on Intellectual Property
                   and Sustainable Development. I participated by
                   presenting a research paper about social media
                   and  its  impact  on  intellectual  property  and
                   sustainability.  It  was  a  great  opportunity  for
                   several  reasons,  the  most  important  of  which
                   was that Baghdad is recovering and improving.
