(2007/8)تطفل

تطفل (meaning ‘Intrude’) is a series of computer generated Arabic texts which reference western political and pop-culture. The neon texts, as a medium of consumerism, act merely as icons to represent the spread of western culture and its adaptation to different audiences while still retaining its ultimate goal; to make money.
