Ayman Yossri Daydban's flag works on paper intricately weave the narrative of his life in Jeddah.

These pieces, resembling discarded fragments of everyday life like paper wrappers, cans, magazine cutouts, and a traffic bill, mirror the detritus of our collective existence. Much like the artist's large metal sheets, these items are folded and unfolded, each telling a story. While seemingly mundane, each item bears the potential to evoke individual memories, candy wrappers, a traffic bill, or an airline-luggage tag with barcodes might recall both significant turning points and minor irritations. Daydban contends that this discarded "junk" comprises the substance of our lives, asserting that it constitutes the shared cultural DNA shaping our identities.

In using universal litter to illustrate his personal history, Daydban suggests a broader truth about human existence: we are simultaneously everything and anything. In essence, his recent work underscores the process of individuation from mass society. Beginning with a mass-produced identity, often symbolized by collective narratives like flags, Daydban unfolds and deconstructs these societal constructs. In doing so, he reveals the indelible marks they leave on individual souls, marks that they are not to be erased in pursuit of an imagined pristine essential nature but rather to be analyzed, magnified, and embraced with love.
