Description

This art work, holds a story and a poem with in. It is about the crafts of a time passed that created community and provided survival among the woman of that time. It is a look back in the personal change of perspective of how my fight, my struggles, my community is radically different from my mother's, but the fact that she was an artist all the same but for a different purpose. This artwork meant a change of how I saw my life in comparison to that of my mother.

Description

Around 7,000 years ago, an ancient civilization known as the Sumerians settled along the banks of the Euphrates river, modern day Iraq. Their story gives clues as to our origin. Time was established as we still perceive it, and their advanced understanding of the cosmos and astronomy suggests that our ancestors had a certain access to the celestial sphere that has since been lost in translation.

THE NEW SUMERIANS is an evolving project that honours the ancestry we carry as displaced peoples. In collaboration with photographer Ahmad Nasereldein, I have created portraits that I have manipulated with the sculpted facial and body parts of Ancient Sumerians, starting with the 5,000 year old mask of “The Lady of Uruk”. This iteration begins with my origin story: my family— the microcosm. This process of transformation pays homage to our celestial ancestors, despite the passage of time and the circumstances that have propelled us away from our homeland.

These ancient sculptures carry our burdens and have witnessed our pillage. The New Sumerians is part of a larger exploration rooted in storytelling and world-building; a supernatural dimension where ancestors live amongst the unborn, and intergenerational burdens transform into wisdom.

الوصف

يحمل هذا العمل الفني في طياته قصة وقصيدة. ويتمحور حول الحرف اليدوية في زمن مضى والتي خلقت المجتمع ووفرت سُبل البقاء على قيد الحياة للنساء في ذلك الوقت. هي نظرةٌ إلى الماضي في التغيير الشخصي لوجهة نظر حول الاختلاف الجذري بين صراعي وكفاحي ومجتمعي عن مجتمع والدتي، سوى فيما يخص حقيقة أنها كانت فنانة، مثلي تماماً، ولكن لغرض مختلف. كان هذا العمل الفني يشكلُ تغييراً في كيفية رؤيتي لحياتي مقارنةً بحياة والدتي.
