"The message that I want to deliver through my 11th exhibition, ‘Mr. Steel,’ is quite a purposeful message to the people and society. First, I want to bring the concept of contemporary art to the people. Secondly, I want to use my sculptures that you see today to talk about different messages like peace, the country, history, culture, heritage and science fiction."

10. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Elias Abdel Hameed, visitor:
"I experienced variety in this exhibition, wooden sculptures, stone sculptures as well sculptures that were formed by assembling and welding metal. The shapes represent different ideas. For instance, this sculpture reflects freedom and the others represent aliens. Wael likes to watch alien movies, that’s why he subconsciously thinks about them and creates these shapes."

These are all art experiments that reflect the artist’s impressions and experiences through sculpting."
