Saudi musician seeks to support emotional health through art therapy

RIYADH: Saudi musician Abdullah Khoja wants to help people express their emotions through art therapy because of the way it helped him to deal with his feelings.

“When you have suppressed emotions, it eats you up and you feel angry all the time, and this can easily be lightened up by art therapy because emotions are energy that you can use for good or bad,” he told Arab News.

His mother passed away when he was a child, and he felt lonely because of the age gap between him and his siblings.

“I had no one to talk to about these emotions that I suppressed inside of me. So I tried to play video games and hold these feelings in, but it didn't work. I was full of rage.”
