I try in my work to express the twisted realities we live in, when
the boots of soldiers teach us to see from strange angles while they
control our bodies and souls, and when our lives become a subject
for debate in semi old buildings, and when smart modern persons try
to cover our wounds and humiliation with fake roses and whitewash.
In
1987 Palestinian artists started working with the Italian kufieh
organization. Since then, and through our close friendship with
the artists of kufieh, Italy occupied a big space in our hearts.
So, it is no wonder that we are participating in this important
exhibition, to express our thanks for their solidarity and to emphasize
the importance of cultural cooperation between our two peoples.
