About the Project:
In my homeland, we say, 'Those who love you will peel you a pomegranate.' Peeling pomegranates is a time-consuming and laborious task, symbolizing love and care. Yet, it is also an act filled with grief.
This video work explores the intimate act of peeling pomegranates as a bloody fruit in a meditative way as well as referencing displacement and loss, which sadly in the Palestinian context feels endless. In the recent genocide in Palestine, I wonder: who will peel pomegranates for those we have lost?
