In his "Yusur" series, Khalid reimagines mosques as colorful balloons, infusing them with playful pastel hues. This whimsical interpretation challenges conventional perceptions of religious symbols, emphasizing the idea that religion is not confined to solemnity but is instead intertwined with the fabric of our daily existence.


Just as balloons evoke feelings of joy and celebration, Khalid's artwork suggests that religion can serve as a guiding light, illuminating our journey towards a brighter and more positive future. By juxtaposing traditional religious imagery with vibrant colors and playful forms, Khalid invites viewers to reconsider their understanding of spirituality and embrace

its inherent joy and optimism.
