The artist makes the final touches before the opening in Asira, seated in the rural theater in the old center of Asira Ashamalyieh, village near Nablus, Palestine. "Using my skill in portrait painting, I embarked on a journey of negotiation to address the reserved attitudes toward exhibiting photos of women." The process of negotiation, painting, organizing the exhibition as an intervention, and building the theater was guided by a deep inclination toward joy and enlightenment, culminating in an opening where everyone eventually came together to celebrate.
"Painting, curating, researching, public interventions, leading museums, and teaching—each project becomes transformative. Each project becomes transformative. Each shall push boundaries, and of course, it will be pushed back; this is where things start to shimmer..."
State of Mind
"Questioning, confrontation, rotation, and joy are my driving notions, here and everywhere else. Yet, in the here, there is much to play with, and that is just perfect!"
in Studio, in Public
"Reflecting on the social and spatial changes in Palestinian culture since the late 1980s, I felt compelled to engage with some of them in the public sphere. In my studio, I design projects using various mediums like sculpture, video, and installation, while dedicating most of my energy to painting. Each intervention carries its unique language and aesthetic. Joy is my driving force, no matter how dark the truth may be. And now, just go paint!"
