Selim Bouhamidi Sketches
Who am I?
Writer interested in the anthropological and urban with a critical humanistic approach. I'm proud to be American, French, and Moroccan. I'm an avid Dodgers, Lakers, Bruins and Raiders fan. I'm a worker, a lover, a poet, a pacifist, a person living. I build cities now and look to rebuild them later. I'm an Urban Planner for the built and the dismantling, the better days and the squandered days. I'm looking to one day build spaces for people to heal and where we can all find peace with ourselves. I want to build places that are hallowed, meaningful, and peaceful for large people to get together, be together, and talk together. Capitalism has built corporate monsters that we inhabit everyday out of necessity. I want to build places that we can be proud of and that doesn't cost a fortune to inhabit. The moment we take away people's ability to consume the goods and services provided by Capitalism is the day that society has lost as a whole.
What are sketches?
These are sketches, portraits, graceful words about the grace all around us. I want to show you this world through my eyes. These are all working pieces because I am a work in progress or constantly working. I write to reach perfection although I fall woefully short. I am who I am and these sketches are meant for an imperfect world rife with contradictions. These are the thoughts that keep me up at night.
I love my fiancee Magpie and her lovely Julian.
