بُيُوتٌ وَسَيَّارَاتٌ صَغِيرَةٌ جِدًّا

نَبِيل عَلِي فَنَّانٌ مِنْ دَوْلَةِ الْكُوَيْتِ. هُوَ يَصْنَعُ بُيُوتًا وَسَيَّارَاتٍ صَغِيرَةً جِدًّا. فِي طُفُولَتِهِ، كَانَ يَذْهَبُ مَعَ أَبِيهِ إِلَى مَتَاحِفِ السَّيَّارَاتِ وَالْقِطَارَاتِ. وَكَانَ يُحِبُّ السَّيَّارَاتِ الصَّغِيرَةَ وَالطَّائِرَاتِ الصَّغِيرَةَ. وَكَانَ الْبَائِعُونَ يَقُولُونَ لَهُ: هِيَ لَا تَتَحَرَّكُ، وَلَيْسَ لَهَا صَوْتٌ. فِي سَنَةِ ١٩٩٦، اشْتَرَى أَوَّلَ سَيَّارَةٍ صَغِيرَةٍ. اشْتَرَاهَا بِنُقُودِ الْعِيدِ وَمَصْرُوفِهِ. وَمَا زَالَ عِنْدَهُ بَعْضُ قِطَعِهَا إِلَى الْيَوْمِ. بَعْدَ سَنَوَاتٍ، بَدَأَ نَبِيلٌ يُصَوِّرُ سَيَّارَاتِهِ. كَانَ النَّاسُ يُصَوِّرُونَ سَيَّارَاتِهِمْ عَلَى الرُّفُوفِ، لَكِنَّهُ صَوَّرَ سَيَّارَاتِهِ خَارِجَ الْبَيْتِ. وَصَنَعَ لَهَا أَمَاكِنَ صَغِيرَةً، فَتَبْدُو فِي الصُّورَةِ مِثْلَ سَيَّارَاتٍ حَقِيقِيَّةٍ. وَالْيَوْمَ يَشْتَرِي النَّاسُ أَعْمَالَهُ فِي الْكُوَيْتِ وَخَارِجَهَا. يَعْمَلُ نَبِيلٌ بِالْخَشَبِ وَالزُّجَاجِ وَالْأَلْوَانِ. وَهُوَ يَصْنَعُ أَكْثَرَ الْأَشْيَاءِ بِيَدِهِ. أَوَّلًا يَصْنَعُ الْمَكَانَ، ثُمَّ يُلَوِّنُهُ. وَفِي النِّهَايَةِ يَضَعُ السَّيَّارَةَ، وَأَحْيَانًا يَضَعُ ضَوْءًا. أَحَبُّ عَمَلٍ إِلَيْهِ بَيْتٌ كُوَيْتِيٌّ قَدِيمٌ، وَمَعَهُ سَيَّارَةٌ. فِي الْبَيْتِ جُدْرَانٌ مِنَ الْحَجَرِ، وَأَبْوَابٌ مِنَ الْحَدِيدِ. وَهُوَ مِثْلُ بُيُوتِ الْكُوَيْتِ فِي السَّبْعِينِيَّاتِ وَالثَّمَانِينِيَّاتِ. مَرَّةً، صَنَعَ نَبِيلٌ بَيْتًا قَدِيمًا صَغِيرًا لِرَجُلٍ. فَصَوَّرَ الرَّجُلُ سَيَّارَاتٍ صَغِيرَةً أَمَامَ الْبَيْتِ، وَنَشَرَ الصُّوَرَ. فَظَنَّ النَّاسُ أَنَّهُ اشْتَرَى سَيَّارَاتٍ جَدِيدَةً! وَقَالُوا لَهُ: مَبْرُوكٌ! ثُمَّ عَرَفُوا أَنَّهَا سَيَّارَاتٌ صَغِيرَةٌ جِدًّا.

Nabil Aly is an artist from the State of Kuwait. He makes very small houses and cars. As a child, he used to go with his father to car and train museums. And he loved small cars and small planes. And the sellers used to tell him: they do not move, and they make no sound. In 1996, he bought his first small car. He bought it with his Eid money and his pocket money. And he still has some of its parts today. Years later, Nabil started photographing his cars. People used to photograph their cars on shelves, but he photographed his cars outside the house. And he made small places for them, so in the photo they look like real cars. And today people buy his work in Kuwait and outside it. Nabil works with wood, glass and paints. And he makes most things by hand. First he makes the place, then he paints it. And at the end he puts in the car, and sometimes he adds a light. His favourite piece is an old Kuwaiti house, with a car. The house has stone walls and iron doors. And it is like the hou
