- Story Text: Tunisian artist Zouhair El Bakhri has carved out a unique artistic world for himself, where he welds scrap, factory remains, and discarded industrial material into works of art.
Inside his small workshop in Tunis, accompanied by his hammer and other tools, is where Bakhri creates his own world.
There, he begins and ends his day, which he describes as filled with events and stories that he portrays through his artistic touch and shapes with his own two hands.
El Bakhri said he collects scraps and iron remnants to sculpt stories from reality, symbolizing joy, sorrow, desire, and deprivation in their various forms.
El Bakhri has turned his profession into his source of income. The young artist hopes that his work will gain recognition outside Tunisia among art enthusiasts.
