Qu’est-ce qui vous inspire pour créer vos caricatures ?
La vie et les choses qui me laissent dubitatif.
Vous vivez au Qatar, est-ce que vous vous y sentez libre de dessiner et de faire des caricatures politiques ?
Oui, il faut juste susciter la discussion de manière intelligente. Cela n’a pas de lien avec le fait d’être au Qatar; Il s’agit plutôt de trouver la bonne façon d’avoir une discussion et de faire la critique d’un problème.

What inspires you to create your cartoons ?
Life and things I have questions about.
You live in Qatar, do you feel free to draw and make a satire of anything you think about there ?
Yes, you just have to be smart in starting a discussion. It’s not about being in Qatar, it’s about finding the right way to have a conversation and criticize an issue.
