Kazz AlOmam: is an artistic, philosophical and simplistic project that sees more powerful words than riffles as a resisting tool. It depends on a symbolic poetry style in order to highlight its importance in literature as a social and thinking aspect, which rebels from different issues in somewhat a latent way. Also, it’s a project that is a bit distant from reality and its social and political issues, instead it seeks fantasy in which symbols represent the rational meanings and emotions, seeking an unknown ideal world in order to fulfill the spiritual emptiness that it does not posses.
