In my “Praise of Uncertainty” series, I used empty spaces and scripts of love poems written by Arabic women on women’s bodies to create uncertainty and contradiction. In my installation “my memory seeks high meadows”, dreams, imagination, memory and subconscious are blended by overlayed transparent paintings. Faith and sin yield to each other allowing me to dance only to music my heart desires giving a gentle kindness to who I can be. Fantasies, secrets and despairs lay beneath the many cities of my past replacing the need for belonging with a desire to be placeless. Separate memories are reconstructed on the same frame, or dreams appear on imagined landscapes removing the lines between dreams, memory and imagination hinting at an untold truth about me. Thus, I let myself fall into the lightness of being placeless, and borderless where there are fig trees warmed in the sun and nameless high meadows on which live the heroes of my imagination.
