Born in 1974 in Al-Mazraa village, Akka District, Fawakhry studied there until high school. He then enrolled in the VIZO Academic Center for Design and Arts, Haifa, and obtained a bachelor’s degree in 1996. He works as a design lecturer at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem.

An artist who draws from a wide range of multiple media, materials, and techniques, Fawakhry creates conceptual works in the form of videos, installations, and drawings. He uses graphic technology in some of his works, as an auxiliary tool to present diverse, critical art. Other techniques, such as digital printing, reveal a Pop Art influence, with which he presented several critical projects against the political and social measures in the occupied territories in 1948. He worked to transform his shock into black comedy and transforms the daily struggle into visual symbols that contradict the meaning between life and annihilation in the harmony of the concept.

His topics are concerned with existential concepts and cultural conflicts between the Palestinians of the occupied interior and the practices of Israeli culture against Palestinian citizens. He presents his questions about the topics of coexistence, occupation and the self. His project “The Donkey” emerged, which he employed during his projects since his first exhibition, “I Am a Donkey,” which he deconstructed through critical projections and comparisons about the conflict.
