Alethia comes from the ancient Greek word for truth — and that idea sits at the heart of everything you’ll find here.

I’m David Abdelmalak, a medical doctor based in Melbourne, Australia, with a long-standing interest in the intersections of faith, medicine, and meaning. Alongside my clinical work, I write and photograph as a way of uncovering these themes more deeply and honestly.

This space is where ideas are examined, questions are welcomed, and stories are told — sometimes through words, sometimes through images. Whether I’m reflecting on medicine, theology, or everyday life, my aim is to engage thoughtfully and speak truthfully.
