MANNAT: A Special Prayer
I am an interdisciplinary artist concerned with the lived experience. Quotidian activities, quests and discoveries are fundamental to my art. My changing understanding of what it means to be an immigrant is accompanied by my newfound concerns of being a mother. It is thus no surprise that works deeply embedded in my cultural and personal experience are also politically charged.
This work 9×21 feet wide made of contributed fabric finger woven on 7 panels of chicken mesh is forcing the viewers to address that children remain the first and last victim of war/ violence. We need to reconsider our actions for the safety and future of our children.
