Emerging from an ongoing grieving, the project centres a hybrid creature, part self, part vessel, that stands both as witness and participant to testimonials from my nine Gazan aunts, once born in Palestine.

Family Tree investagates trauma as embodied physical pain; the complexities of grief, sacrifice & sovereignty that are embedded characteristics of Palestinian motherhood; the recontextualisation of martyrdom in the context of genocide; and western feminism as a tool of colonial oppression.

The body of work consists of two paintings, three large format digital lenticular prints, a single-channel animation video with a composed piece by Nicolas Baveire, and an audio-visual installation including latex, electronics, LEDs, and speakers as the main materials.
