Dreamy Kuwait Collection: 25 Screen Art Pieces, The Place I Call Home
Twenty-five places in Kuwait. This one is a love letter.
I am Hawaiian. Kuwait is home. Both of those are true at the same time, and this collection is me saying so out loud.
Some of these you already know. Kuwait Towers, the Water Towers, Liberation Tower, Seif Palace, the Grand Mosque. Some you only know if you live here, or if someone who grew up here told you about them. Entertainment City in the nineties. The old Aqua Park next to the Towers.
My wife is Kuwaiti. She has been telling me about this place since we met. What Friday Market was like, what her family did, what she misses. A lot of this collection came out of listening to her.

WHY I MADE IT
I did not grow up here. I came, I stayed, and somewhere in there it stopped being the place I lived and became the place I am from.
So I made the landmarks, because they are worth making. But I also made Friday Market on a crowded morning, the fish market with the blue tile behind the counters, the souq with the light coming down the middle of the walkway. Those are the ones people actually live in.
Then there are the ones that are pure memory. Entertainment City the way it looked in the nineties. The Aqua Park that used to sit beside the Towers. Neither of them is standing now. I have been told about those places more than I have seen them, and painting something from someone else's memory is its own kind of listening.
Two of them are not places at all. They are what people did here. Pearl divers going over the side of a dhow with a nose clip and a basket, which is how this country ate before the oil. And a racing camel walked out past the majlis with the gahwa already poured.
Those two changed the collection for me. Everything else is a building, and a building does not tell you who lived in it.
The last piece in the set is the Gulf Road on a national day, flags out of every car window. That is the one that felt like the right place to stop.
THE STORY
Every collection comes with the story of where it came from. Read the story behind Dreamy Kuwait.
USING THEM
Every file is yours. Put it on every screen you own, and send one to anyone who'd like it. Just don't sell them or pass them off as your own work. Same terms whether you paid or I gave it to you.
A finished AI-assisted image can look like everyone else's. The artist's vision is always different.
An artist that is inspired and directs his AI Assistant. I work with AI to create my vision and I am the Hawaiian that brings the inspiration to the creation.
