About Me

I (Tala Fakhoury) was born in Beirut Lebanon on the 22nd of September 1997 to Lebanese parents Lina Saad and Fady Fakhoury.

My favourite colour is blue, not duke blue unfortunately, but turquoise.

My inspiration and idol is Leonardo Da Vinci, mostly because he was good at everything, but also because he worked to decipher the secrets of the human body and merge it into machinery, to fulfill his understanding of the way we perceive objects, move, or even develop as an embryo.

However unlike the primitive conclusions Da Vinci had on the way the human brain functioned in the Renaissance era, some contemporary projects have reached places a person couldn't even conceive in their mind. It is about truly exploring the human mind, how it functions, and reproducing what the human brain in capable of doing.{see the links below}
