Ahmed presented many art exhibitions along with a group of memorials that mimicked the Canaanite myth and Canaanite sculpture, as he was interested in studying the Canaanite civilization, researching its historical roots, especially since his name refers to this civilization, and he completed his first statue “Refugees” in 2016 from wood eucalyptus 300/80/60 cm. As for the second statue: Houses and Wings, stone production in 2012, Culture and Science Forum - Dubai, UAE 80/100/300 cm, and he completed a group of stone carvings whose main theme is the domed Palestinian house. In his sculptures, the houses are sometimes carried on a human head or several heads, and sometimes they are carried on the back of a winged human being, such as the monument in Shfaram. The third statue: Resurrection. 2012 production iron. From the collections of the open-air museum. Industrial Park, Omer Negev.
Ahmed's style is characterized by deconstruction, synthesis, and the use of interlacing. That is, taking the whole and turning it into more than the sum of all its parts. The process that Ahmed developed contains a flat surface from which the details were cut out and melted again to form another work of art. In this type of artwork, the decoration becomes a hypothesis. The design principle expresses the intellectual content of the work. As for the truncation, it is like melting the details into one block to be the expression that the artist himself wanted.
