Confronting nostalgia—Tracing its Threads; Traces of memory, of roots, of land, of sea, of friendship, of sisterhood, of youth, of passion, of connection, of community, of laughter, of warmth, of togetherness, of pre-grief, of scents, of dialects, of colors, of aliveness, of belonging, and of family.
This series weaves together stitching motifs of Gaza with photographs taken by my sister Noor and me during our one-month visit to Gaza in 2012. With some of these images, memory blurs—we no longer remember who took them.
This series stands as a body of remembrance and a refusal to forget—a vessel for hope, for roots, for holding on to what cannot be erased.
With shared remembrance, love, and reverence for Palestine.
