Interested in blurring the boundaries between realism and abstraction, and the paradox of capturing a sense of time in a still image, he explores the symbolism of narrative motifs, suggesting dramatic contrasts in the city and the coexistence of pain and joy. Young is also passionate about working with disadvantaged children and youth. He has worked with Home of Hope, SOS Children's Villages of Lebanon, children in Dahiye, and the Al Kamandjati School that teaches students music at the Palestinian Bourj al Barajneh Refugee Camp in Beirut.
