on using only palestinian materials during the first intifada⁴:

That was the philosophy of the intifada. When you read their literature and leaflets, it's about boycotting Israeli goods and trying to rely on ourselves. Most people were trying to do that, by planting their land or starting a small farm to live from. As an artist I thought, why don't we do the same? Why don't we search for natural materials to do our work from?

The mud came from my childhood memories. As a child I used to work with my grandmother when she was building beehives and even ovens with mud. And I was always around her, trying to help. So when I thought about material that I could use, mud was the first thing that came to my mind. After a while, once I started making figures, I realized that the mud also reflects the human fate with the cracks, people waiting to disappear, fall down and go away.

[padawan-historian]

Revolution is not a romantic sentiment. Revolution is not an intellectual thot exercise (yes that kinda thot). Revolution is not the root, but the result of mass suffering and death that is met with silence and non-action.

Revolution is a dream and nightmare that refuses to die quietly.

The ancestors are watching from Guatemala and Gaza to Atlanta and Haiti 🖤✨️🌿
