"Some young artists boldly tackle subjects related to our society that are not usually spoken of because of their sensitivity, like Bassem Yousri's work about extremists who imprison their minds and bodies in old appearances in the name of religion, and force an absolute disconnection between themselves and our contemporary reality. Moreover, they try to impose their reactionary views on the rest of the society. The uniqueness of Bassem's work doesn't only emanate from its daring subject, but also from his sensitivity in translating the internal life of these characters with their contradicted feelings accentuated by strong contrasted colors."
