Video
Visually, the piece is a contemplation on a dystopian present where erasure of people and history is publicly televised, while representation and narrative is manipulated and distorted through technology. In an inability to show photographs or videos of memories the artist holds of her childhood in Gaza - Palestine, using the same dystopian technology became most appropriate.
Sonically, the piece is structured in three movements, Peace, Pain, and Rebirth, symbolising the resilience of Palestinians enduring occupation and genocide.
