identity and belonging and its reflection in the works of contemporary 
Omani plastic art in its aesthetic and expressive dimensions which 
confirm the inevitability of belonging and communication between the 
world of the contemporary Omani plastic artist and the heritage of his 
environment and proving the depth of his symbolic presence in his 
works as he expressed in Tashkeel His harmonic visions with his 
symbols started from the features of people and their affiliations, 
folklore, daily life and traditional crafts decorated with decorations 
and colors, as happens with the use of (Desert Heritage) to act of 
belonging and prove identity By adopting heritage visual images with 
stories that narrate appearances, traditions and norms, which are 
important entries reviewed by the researcher - in the theoretical 
framework of the study and covered by his research experience with 
the entrance to the analysis based on building a standard in aesthetic 
analysis that includes determinants (the artwork - its data - the 
symbols of the desert heritage - concepts of identity And belonging in 
the work of art - the semantic interpretation of the dimensions of 
identity and belonging),all of which represent data that contributed to the interpretation of the 
connotations of identity and belonging and their reflection on the 
symbols of (desert heritage) in the works of contemporary Omani 
plastic art that extend behind the visual structures of the symbol, And 
the environmental and cultural influences surrounding the creativity of 
the artwork, and the artist's life circumstances. The current research
