One of his earliest series, Classics is a collection of pieces depicting automobiles built before 2000. To Rahi, cars fall somewhere between the delicate categories of art and architecture, considering their unique relationship with design, space, safety, details, and character.
Following the Beirut bombing, Rahi presented a sequence honoring the many fathers, mothers, men, and women battling to improve Lebanon. In the two paintings, Faces of Power and Faces of Empowerment, Rahi juxtaposes the idea of the warrior and the victim, rendering them in a state of peculiar conflict. These paintings’ use of power illustrates how individuals struggle with the dual nature of warriorhood and victimhood, revealing the fine line between the two and how individual decisions can tilt the scales in favor of one versus the other.
In November 2022, he debuted his first solo exhibition. The series portrays the contemporary life of a Lebanese woman living in a traditional Lebanese home. It ponders her sensual infatuation with her lover, Beirut, whom she misses and whose return she eagerly anticipates.
A good life is a collection of happy moments. It is to cherish and savor the positive experiences in our lives. A fulfilling life is not necessarily defined by one grand event or achievement, but rather by the accumulation of small, joyous moments that bring us happiness and contentment.
