The Eye of the Blossom
“Growing up in a garden of flowers … literally, as a child I was fascinated, taken by its diversity in shape and color, and feasted my eyes and never ignored….

Past Exhibit: Photographer Amr Mounib has deep roots in Egypt and in film, extending back to the first silent films produced in Egypt by his grandfather, Fawzi Mounib. In this, his first solo exhibition at the Jerusalem Fund Gallery Al–Quds he combines painting, collage photography and a touch of surrealism to produce images of an Egypt that lies in his heart.
