Mohamed Ekiabi works are mostly recognized by the existence of wings , either in an obvious or abstract form , he believes that wings symbolize the saintly phase which masks that all evil actions that human perform , it is the symbol of freedom and going off the limits that any human aims to go to run from reality which might be sometimes very cruel .
This idea was inspired from the pharonic culture which represents gods in the form of winged creatures , and that was illustrated by drawings on the templates .
His works is mainly made up of paper in different forms, Ekiabi consider paper a simple material which he could construct the most complex shapes and figures from it , also paper got many different form,starting from the very plain flimsy paper to the hardy sturdy forms, and we can see that paper is much like human being nature ,very pure yet still got some forms of very nasty forms !
