The two foods I loved the most growing up: In N Out and my grandma's Molokhia. The Arabic says “Molokhia” which is a nostalgic rice, jute leaf, and chicken based Egyptian dish. The label is a heavily modified Lyon Arabic Slanted by the legendary @morcoskey. The In N Out burger wrapper was modeled in Clo3d and rendered in C4D + redshift.

Before my dad passed, I started learning Arabic to get back in touch with my heritage. I’ve learned a couple things: 1. Arabic reads from right to left. 2. My grandmas name “Zizi” can read forwards in English and backwards in Arabic! This is because the English letter “i” makes a Z sound in Arabic and the lower case cursive “z” shape makes an “i” sound (with some creative liberties) Slide 2 - image of my grandma Zizi in Egypt #arabic #lettering #Zizi (at New York City, N.Y.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbZAUvzAr30/?utm_medium=tumblr

TODAY IS THE ULTIMATE #2SDAYTUESDAYS I’VE BEEN WAITING MY WHOLE LIFE FOR THIS MOMENT. HERE’S A SELECTION OF MY FAVORITE 2’S MADE OVER THE YEARS. (at New York City, N.Y.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaTYxzmLMiN/?utm_medium=tumblr

When my dad was nine, his parents told him to pack one bag and one toy so it appeared like they were going on vacation. It would be the last time he’d see his childhood home in Egypt. They were fleeing the country. They left behind memories and possessions for a life on the edge of total poverty in Los Angeles. Growing up in the ‘60s and ‘70s in LA he overcame a lot. And I never grasped how much this trauma shaped his life. It wasn’t until his final years that I could finally understand. 
He left this world an accomplished man and father. I love you dad. So happy you’re at peace now. (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYk90g0LIce/?utm_medium=tumblr
