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. |

Father
January, 2004
Acrylic on Canvas

This is a portrait of the man in my life- My father,
Taghlib. The image is of the mud
houses that are built by the bedouins of Iraq, and the
text reads (in Arabic): Teacher,
Father, Man (provider), Architect, Human.
