“My name is Mohammed Qutaish. I am 14 years old. When I grow up I hope to be an architect. This is my city of Aleppo. I am building the Syria of tomorrow.

I began building my model after I experienced my city being destroyed by air strikes and missiles. My sorrow, caused by this destruction, has inspired me immensely.

Sometimes I feel very frightened. Sometimes I cannot think or work. Optimism gives me the power and determination to finish the works I have started.

Every complex I design has a garden.

I hope that one day these paper buildings will become real buildings.” – Mohammed Qutaish, 2015

My own tiny museum. I have always loved alter pieces ever since my art history days in college. I recently added the bottom triptych of Mary from our trip to the Vatican. It’s a beautiful & peaceful corner in my room. #triptychs
