My Homeland: A Eulogy to a Lost world. 🌍
Over time I have come to accept the loss after the war back home and in the process of grieving I have found a much greater sense of home in the most spiritual sense.
As any Syrian will tell you, there is this overwhelming sense of loss and an overwhelming sense of grief. Because that world which existed before the war started, despite it naturally having problems, was a beautiful world with a booming economy, artistic scene, film festivals and visiting international artists, Damascus was the third safest city in the world. The loss of that world was heart wrenching and, in a way, steered me towards a universal concept of home. The main trigger that made me create Syrian Dreams was the Syrian war and the loss of my homeland. And it's only by embarking on that spiritual journey of constant meditation and of finding home within God and within myself that I started to feel consolable and started to feel that I have my own home within me. I felt that the world is my home and humanity is my home. With the Finding Home album, I want to take people through a transformative journey, where they land in that place of home for them. No matter what that will look like for each person. With that there will always be sadness, nostalgia and most importantly hope.
