PicsArt Year in Review: 2015 Dec. 2015 | Page 95

PURPOSE 90 AEYHM’S STYLE Aeyhm experiments with photography and photo editing techniques to communicate images of positivity and hope. His subjects are often his friends, loved ones, and sometimes even his harsh daily realities. A eyhm Alfadel is a refugee from a war-torn country. The last few years of his life have been filled with the unrest caused by the Syrian Civil War. His local community torn apart, it has not been easy for him to sit by idly and accept this new reality. Yet, in the midst of war, Aeyhm renounces violence. Instead, he turns to art and photography as a way to cope with his country’s disintegrating infrastructure. He often shares his photographs of other young people affected by the war in an effort to shed light on the faces affected by the turmoil. Initially, he used PicsArt as a way to edit his photos, but what has made the most impact is the community that supports his creations.
