“FROM
THERE”
is a portfolio of memories by a Palestinian
artist, an attempt to
interpret the known versus the unknown of
finding home, self, identity,
and the challenge it presents in the creation
of art. The content and
narrative behind each piece explains her
Palestinian origin. She uses
textured surfaces to convey memory's
persistence and perseverance. In
some cases she incorporates words from the
Quran to capture the wisdom
and power of the verses and to communicate
their imaginative
energy.
