Visual Diary - September 2016
Coming down from late night partying left me with a feeling of calm. There is a feeling of quiet elation, subdued celebration, and powerful inter-connectivity lingering for days afterwards. The horrors of the rising political environment are an echo in the background, I'm hopeful. Despite an anxious early September with a new job and new changes in life, I feel a moment of calm connection with those around me. Ephemeral quiet moments of higher thinking.
Visual Diary - October 2016
Fall colors – oranges and yellows. A man reaches for the sky with hope, as one anxiously rests his head- eyes closed. Another gazes blankly. Shapes of houses and birds in the background. The election is imminent. My mother is diagnosed with oral cancer. There is only anxiety, waiting, hope, and fear.
Visual Diary - March 30, 2017
Cars Crashing with terror in London. A little red bird tapped at my window yesterday- good luck? Eyes fluttering, dreaming, I'm imaging something new. My mom looking for hope and luck as she recovered from cancer surgery. Myself tossing and turning in my sleep as I quietly turned 30.
Adam Chamy is a visual artist, writer, architectural designer living and dreaming in Washington, DC. As an artist, Adam takes found objects and images as a form of storytelling and self exploration. His works include traditional collage techniques, painting, drawing, as well as incorporating found objects, paper, and digital images. The result is a highly layered and symbolic language that—while having specific personal meaning—viewers are meant to reimagine for themselves. His past projects include “Of Refuge, Of Home”, portraits from his Palestinian-Texan ancestry and “Viajes” watercolor works from a trip to Colombia, and "Otherworlds" - visual exploration into personal myth and dreams. His works have been featured in the United Nations East Gallery in New York City; the Museo di Brigantaggio in Italy; and the al-Quds Gallery in the District of Columbia.
