The difference between this Piece and a Canvas Portrait, as a wall-mounted
Art, Is the 3-4D Look Dimension: This Impressive Carved Wooden Artwork,
Is (the state of consciousness that is more advanced than our present level at 3-4D. It is like existing in a state of grace, where life is actually easy and needs are provided for. One way to imagine a higher dimension is to think of where souls go when the body dies)

This Beauty represents : estrangement - Foreignness – Alienation #

الــــــــغربه من حيث تجربة النحات

Is the distance from home, and often refers to the negative emotions
associated with being separated from parents and the usual atmosphere.
Man often alienates (Leave abroad) in order to study, earn a living or
make a better Financial gain and aspires to reach a prestigious standard
of living at the expense of being alienated from the family,
or may be forcibly alienated in situations of war and security
and political instability. Also there is Forced alienation, الشعب الذي لايقهر
(the Palestinian diaspora), for example, refugees and displaced persons.
Or Forced to exile in political Terms.

How this Little Giant expresses -Foreignness –Alienation#  ?

From the Artist Opinion Living abroad outside your country needs great courage from you,
and readiness to A great change which request,
prior planning and a lot of research, and may carry within it Dangerous Risks.

Through This (below) summarized Podcast Description, Artist Wishes to Transcribe His Message
to the Artists Friends, Wood Lovers , Bricolage shadow Box technicians , And The Grey Wood Gallery
friends and customers.

Through Element [1], A strong Metallic Grey powder wrinkles applied on the MDF background,
enhanced with Epoxy to reflect The ‘Society’ where the attached top boxes represent
‘Houses’ in terms of ‘Belonging’ or the unique colour of the ‘Grey wood Gallery’

In Addition this is a revealing technic to mention the:
Culture shock one’s can face due to different ways of living, eating, transportation, and social behaviours, This creates an unbridled nostalgia for home, friends and family. The barrier of language and communication with others, and this barrier is broken only by learning the mother tongue in the country in which you are trying to integrate yourself in,
Need to Be ‘Like Metal’ to get absorbed in society.
Through Element [2]:
Same size parallel wooden Box – EXCEPT ONE IRREGULAR ASYMMETRICAL BOX.
Artist wishes through looking to this Irregular asymmetrical ‘Box’ in comparison with
the other parallel – well organised boxes (in terms of architectural organised society designs)
To develop the syndrome of the new-Born, ‘NEW HOUSE’ within a complex architectural organisation of ‘City’ responding to the rules (of construction and legal licencing),
Unfortunately, this unorganised ‘ home ’ Seems to enhance artistically,
of loneliness and some fear sensation ; because you will find yourself in a strange place among strangers and do not know how to behave at first, and to overcome this feeling you must always remember the reason for your emigration and coming to a new ‘SOCIETY’

Through Element [3] + [4] :
Artist through the Bricolage – shadow boxing technics &
The [Glyden Barbed wire] ; created 2 abstract patterns –

 Barbed Wires Into 14 duplicated Boxes.
& a Barbed Wire Man Abstract – Seeking High Force Help
(RISED PRAYING HANDS).
Through the Glyden Barbed wires in all duplicated boxes ‘14 box’
the Artist wished to reflect the year (2014) as the year, where he chose willingly,
to Travel for another country (and living the estrangement experience).
Number (14) from the perception of The numerology science
 resonates with expression of personal freedom.
The numerology number 14 is a number of including independence and self-determination. The number 14 is curious and interested in pretty much everything. Yet, the number generally has one self-assigned goal
which is concerned with the role of the self  Or the motivation
and goals of oneself.
In Greek philosophy is defined as ‘ Social anarchism’ = κινονηκη Αναρχια.

Surprisingly,  in loneliness while abroad. Adapting to a new environment and adapt to different temperaments and habits from the old ones. The expatriate always feels very remorseful for making the decision to immigrate. The expatriate feels the urgent need to visit his homeland, in addition to his feeling of sadness, in other words all the disadvantages of his homeland will become good in his eyes while he is abroad. A Feeling of Anxiety will be Diagnosed certainly.

In addition to the mentioned meanings, element [4],
shows a Standing Abstract WIRE MAN.
Seeking High Force Help (سبحانه جل جلاله) - (RISED UP PRAYING HANDS).
Heaviness in responsibilities, Duties and boredom.

One of the most prominent messages ATTACHED IN HERE,
as an alienation sculpture is that the Artist Mr. Mo Hadji
WARNS ONLOOKERS FROM THE HOLLOWNESS
& CRUELTY OF BEING ALONE ABROAD.
DEADLY PARADOXICAL EMOTIONS YOU WON’T FEEL THEM UNLESS
YOU GET ABROAD TO EXPERIENCE THEM.

MOVE FOR TOURISM – ENJOY TRAVEL . BUT NEVER BE  ‘EL GRINGO’ –
STRANGER IN YOUR COUNTRY – BETTER THAN STRANGER ABROAD.
