Artist Statement
“On the Question of Home”:
Homonyms in language can create an entirely different perception. It can also confuse your way of thinking about things. In Iraqi dialect, the word for "home" and "house" is the same one, therefore the idea of a home could be completely related to the physical house. The series tries to explore the relationship between the human and the idea of home through the attachment to the physical.
