Stomach Pain V
 

mixed media installation with video (46 min. loop), dimensions variable; A. M. Qattan Foundation, Ramallah

 

The inside, the outside

The hidden, the shown

The protection from publicity …

Settled deeply in my memories, my behavior and my self portrait…

I see it in any father and daughter walking down the street…

I have stomach pain … mom
