Like other artists, Salah did not lose sight of the prospect of recycling waste, but what sets his work apart is how he transforms iron scrap into enormous statues that depict the Pharaonic culture.
His works include a replica of black statues of the Nile Palace, which is very well -known in Egypt, and each copy is three meters long, and each of these statues needed three hundred kilograms of metal scrap.
Salah took part in a young artists’ show in Cairo where they displayed their works in the categories of sculpture, drawing, and photography.
Regarding his origins, Salah stated: “Iron is a very solitary substance, and the skill of iron scrap is well-known all across the world. I liked to start something about our identity and heritage when I made the decision to work in this profession.
The Egyptian artist added: “I worked many things from the ancient Egyptian heritage.
I worked on the Asad al-Nile Palace as a pharaonic cat named Horus and as Kilopra’s statue.”
He went on: “Consider the community’s inclusion of recycling. I worked on a variety of projects, including adapting vehicle tyres to sculpting as a model for an artistic piece.”
Salah said in closing his remarks: “This kind of art does a lovely thing by transforming trash and discarded items into eco-friendly materials.
Many people were awestruck by what I do and got to know me through the communication platforms.
Ibrahim, a stick of magic novels and myths, transformed into unique and beautiful works that immediately drew attention to them and sang the heritage, demonstrating that people genuinely want to safeguard the environment in many ways.
