Ibrahim is a Lebanese transnational artist whose vibrant sculptures and installations explore themes of affection, identity, and belonging. After a career in psychology and education across Lebanon, Dubai, and Los Angeles, he moved to New York City in 2018 to focus on his studio practice. He earned his MFA in ceramics from SUNY New Paltz in 2023 and now teaches Design and Art History at Pima Community College in Tucson, Arizona. ​
Khazzaka's work is deeply influenced by his multicultural experiences and emphasizes intercultural dialogue, place-making, and material research. His recent exhibition, "The Veils of Dawn," showcased ceramic pieces inspired by the beauty of Southwest sunrises and sunsets, reflecting his interest in the balance between discomfort and belonging. ​
"Engaging with malleable materials like clay allows me to explore my identity in flux and my perceptions, making my art a medium for personal and cultural expression and a tool for me to make sense of it all." ​
