From The Neighbour’s Home (من بيت لبيت) - Mixed Media, 2024

Abstract:

من بيت لبيت is a project that showcases four pieces representing different sides of the Palestine Liberation. Each of them connects a mode of resistance with an aspect of the Palestinians' resilience. The choice to name each a form of ‘paper’ is to honour the loose term of ‘paper’ in Arabic, and showcase how many ways one word could be restated. The project as a whole is meant to show how solidarity in protests, resistance and community expressions during moments of revolution represent themselves to embody important concepts in a physical interactive form. This project used arduino, laser cutter, programming, and physical computing.
