During my residency at Duplex in Lisbon, I questioned the utility of the desk I was given to work on.
On its surface, I have painted images drawn daily from non-Western media, such as Al Jazeera News, using phosphorescent powders.
in water dispersion.
These images disappear and reappear, only to fade once more, in a cycle of presence and absence.
This work tries to address the way we look at the endless stream of images of aggressions, brutal occupation, genocide, providing audiences with a tool - a small torch-, a symbol of responsibility in transmitting mutual knowledge.
