Slow Burning Without Feeling, Final Act, Burning Bodies, A Sacred Stone, Ruba in Red Fog, Ruba's Body (from the exhibition, Mitli Mitlak (Like You, Like Me))

These works were created in response to poetic texts written by Habibah Sheikh, a nomadic performance artist originally from Lebanon, and the curator of the Mitli Mitlak exhibition. In the text, a character named Ruba experiences the destruction of war first hand and becomes a refugee in the process. The use of imagery of violence evokes the emotional and physical vulnerability of certain Mediterranean themes...such as being without asylum.
