crossing lines

- crossing lines -
is a personal collection of poems and drawings resulted during cold Berlin winters.
It forms a sequence of surreal, esoteric yet darkish set of words coming across industrial, mechanico-organic drawn figures.

Staying loyal to the - senses of the setting - and demanding an - experimental research approach - Akdar moves between various linguistic areas in English, German and Arabic when bringing articulate literary eloquence and off-dry terms to fresh but nuanced urban slang or poeticizing Math and Chemistry by channelling a multi-layered, tempo-dosed emotive sound beyond the common shadows of the abstract.

As however the handcrafted drawing process is subconscious-derived, it grows through an intrinsic filter and emerges in abnormal polydimensional shapes,
given names like 'psychotic patient in op' or 'stuck in industrial zone'.
