I am
first and foremost a Human, then a Woman, then an Arab, then an
Iraqi, then a Canadian, then a student, then an artist. All of
these factors play a role in my thoughts. My artwork is derived
from all of the questions that come about when trying to figure
out all of these labels, all of these categories, all of these
constructions. The instructions I give to you while viewing the
gallery is to consider the context. Consider all the elements
around you right now, consider the situation we are in, and
place yourself outside of the box. Enjoy.
But remember.... This is (still) all a Construction. |

Operation Iraqi
Freedom?
March, 2003
Oil on masonite
4 feet by 5 feet
Painted during the War of 2003, this painting reflects on the
essence of Iraq, beaten,
bruised, broken but still standing, watching over her land. Iraq
is represented as both a woman, and a palm tree, bearing witness
to all the suffering taking place within its land. |
