a quick follow up to my previous comment.
ReplyDeletei understand now that the wheelchair on the stair was from 2006 by another artist. sorry for any confusion i set up there.
also, i've not seen what moataz has done lately, his website seems to have been left alone for sometime now.
i found this link to a recent exhibition:
