Title: Origin of Civilization.

Location & Date: Created in Madinaty, Egypt, in 2008.
Concept & Theme: The sculpture presents two monumental vertical forms supporting a partially carved stone element, creating a symbolic dialogue between humanity and the foundations of civilization. Smooth, organic volumes emerge from geometric architectural pillars, expressing the balance between nature and human creation. The unfinished upper stone preserves its raw texture, contrasting with the refined marble surfaces below to represent the continuous evolution from natural material to cultural achievement. Origin of Civilization explores the origins of human society, the enduring strength of architecture, and the timeless relationship between people, nature, and the passage of history.
