A State of Siege
mixed
media installation (250 x 200 x 100 cm) with photographs (7 photographs,
60 x 40,
mounted on foamcore and a curtain with 800
photographs, 6 x 9 cm each); Al Mahattah Gallery, Ramallah
The
inside siege, or the wall of fear and denial of all that is open, grows
and grows in the hearts, so that the concept of absent freedom becomes a
distorted understanding, leading to the creation of barriers deeper and
more damaging than those that we cross in our daily places to study or
work.
Closure
and siege have sons, whom we are, as if it had married our place to
bring us forth, and therefore we hold its genetic characteristics, and
despite all our efforts to change through cosmetic surgery, the genes of
the place remain in us.
