Artist's Statement

Having lost our homeland, we Palestinians gaze madly at the world - a world that denies our history and memory. In the face of ongoing erasure, Palestinians stubbornly insist: we're still here.

These images behind the glass, are inner reflections of that Palestinian gaze. The fragility, vertigo, and awkward perspectives in these paintings are traces of what little remains from the missing path that would have tied our Present to our Memory.

The hope for re-paving that path, with color, with imagination and with struggle, is ever-present for we are always returning to the land which is ours.
