Description

In this work, I worked hard to convey and connect a set of contradictory ideas within me as a citizen living under occupation, always dreaming of ending these rivalries and conflicts, dreaming of freedom. We are like a melody, a linear succession of musical notes perceived as a single entity. In its literal sense, a melody is a sequence of vibrations and time periods, while figuratively, the term sometimes extends to include the succession of other musical elements

Preservation Notes

STATUS Physical work destroyed, no longer extant. Recorded 2026-09-18 on the instruction of Sky, PAPA: the artist's studio and home were destroyed in Israeli airstrikes and no physical work in this collection is known to survive. This record documents a work that no longer exists. SURVIVING RECORD One digital image, 1080 x 1581 px, 149 KB JPEG. Good capture, sufficient for study and screen publication. DIGITAL PRESERVATION The image file is now the artifact. Obtain the artist's original camera file if it still exists, store an uncompressed master alongside the JPEG, record a checksum, and hold a copy outside the Content Lake. Do not re-crop, re-compress, or color-correct the existing file. MATERIAL RECORD Cardboard, glue, and wood, 40 x 60 cm. Construction method is not recorded. NOTE ON ORIENTATION Dimensions are recorded as 40 high by 60 wide, a landscape format, but the surviving image is portrait at 1080 x 1581 px. One of the two is wrong. Neither has been changed. OUTSTANDING 1. Resolve the orientation conflict above against the artist's own measurements. 2. Original camera files and any views showing depth, since a relief in cardboard and wood cannot be read from a single frontal image. 3. Same medium and year as Freedom. Confirm whether they were made as a pair or a series.
