Description

Amidst the scars of war, we have learned to navigate time differently. We've had to reckon with the past, present, and future all at once, racing towards a future that seems to elude us. While the future is a universal concept, our experience of it is deeply personal, shaped by the weight of our collective trauma. We've lost our footing in this world, and so we walk the path towards tomorrow step by step, climbing towards the light even as darkness creeps in at every turn.

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

بسبب مخلفات الحروب من اصابات ومخلفات ذهنيه قد اجبرنا لكي نتناول المستقبل بطريقه اسرع من غيرنا حيث تناولنا الماضي والحاضر والمستقبل مره واحده لكي نستطيع الحاق بما يسما اليوم  بالمستقبل  المستقبل هو مفهوم واحد لكن يختلف بشكل فردي لكل شخص . اما بالنسبه لنا فقد فقدنا التعايش معه لذا نحاول الحاق به مراحل ثم مراحل رغم ان هذا الطريق يتناوله الجميع خطوه بخطوه
