“One cannot but admire Zaim work even by the sheer laborious and intricate details in his pieces that synergize figurative and abstract elements in perfect harmony. The inner dialogue he develops within himself is seem personal and esoteric but yet inviting others to interpret and share the journey, a term he affectionately uses when referring to his exploration.
The journey according to Zaim is his manifestation of life. A perpetual journey without destination, like the daily fishing trips fisherman make to sea. Embarking and embracing challenges life has to offer, where courage, skill, preparations, timing and luck all play a part in determining the final outcome.
The strength of his work is in the absence of life, but yet so evident through careful choice of elements and objects portrayed. The messages conveyed by these objects are subtle, like the lamp signifying life, light and illumination, the jetty, for a comfort zone to rest and recuperate, compass for direction and guide, the anchor and ropes for restrain and control, numbers for identity and individuality. All of which are part of the powerful cycle of life.”
