Through Haitham Al Hamad’s eyes, COVID-19 is selective in how it chooses its victims, feeding off the weaknesses of human immunity. It has the potential to stop time. Selective is an attempt to understand what has largely been incomprehensible.

He is a member of the Syrian Fine Arts Association and Qatar Fine Arts Association.
