Already skilled in marble decoration work, Bashir is now exploring the field of sculpting and art.
His first sculpture is titled ’Refuge’.
A man on his way to find a safe shelter floats on a small boat upon waves formed by the Dutch word ’Veilig’ and the Arabic word ’Al Aman’, both meaning ’Safety’.
