He also shares insights into his creative process and his connection to the city of Suakin.

The article "Manifestations of Displacement in the Literature of Imagery" explores how the ongoing conflict in Sudan, which began in April 2023, has significantly affected young artists from Khartoum. These artists are using their art as a political tool and a means of survival and documentation, as they are forced to deal with the psychological and physical impacts of displacement.

It critically analyzes how Western concepts have been adopted by the Sudanese educated elite and discusses the origins of "modern" plastic arts in Sudan, tracing them back to British colonial influence.
