– Artist’s Website –
My images her are those which express my rage, frustration and sadness at the awful situation that Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza find themselves in. My website is dedicated to the Palestinian people. I use a variety of media, including digital. Often my images reflect a particular historical moment. For example, my ‘Animal’ series refers to Israel’s destruction of the Rafah Children’s Zoo back in the early 2000s. The animals shown were typical of those at the Zoo. I ‘destroyed’ them in Photoshop and then made paintings based on the resultant images. I made the image of the foetus on the anniversary of Israel’s massacre in the village of Kfar Qassem in 1950, when one victim was a pregnant woman. Her foetus was the 50th victim.
Now I am finding that the ghastly conflict in Syria is also motivating more recent images.
