I seek to complicate historical hierarchies. I am the result of my generation, experiencing the entire Second Intifada and trying to frame or shape it differently. These historical narratives fuel my passionate gaze toward the Middle East by subverting notions of oppression and victimhood. My work shows how the case of Palestine is more broadly connected to the problems of the Arab world and the whole world and to see the historic Palestinian relationship to colonization and imperialism.

My image-based practice seeks to engage and subvert national geopolitical power dynamics. I stage questions between sites related to my own identity and locale to debunk metaphoric surrounding contested geographies. I make a satire of an initial assumption of likeness. I start with an existing superficial connection between sites based on a surface likeness - a tenuous crossover related to a name, a language group, or a resemblance in layout - one site is often a form of a copy of the other. Through the dubious link to the original, the copy begins to ask questions about the status of the original.  Branding Conflict
