Two chimeras whose upper bodies and heads are shrouded. Their arms resemble rock drills, and their legs hover above the ground like mangrove roots. 

Wars and destruction are like open wounds in our collective soul. They tear deep emotional and existential scars into the fabric of humanity. The work depicts this vulnerability not as a passive state, but as a living response to it. 

This work was inspired by the poem “Bani Adam” by the Persian poet Saadi, which is engraved at the entrance to the UN building:

"Human beings are members of a whole,

in creation of one essence and soul.

If one member is afflicted with pain,

other members uneasy will remain.

If you have no sympathy for human pain,

the name of human you cannot retain."

Featuring an introverted and rotating movement, the ceramic sculpture Twin addresses the destruction of war and the ruin of violated human rights. Covered in Persian calligraphy, the upside-down pose reflects the uprooted fates of innocently entangled people. Inspired by Areej Kaood’s poem, the work examines the agony of martyrdom and its resulting circumstances as a gift and a twin to resistance. It breaks the meditative posture to capture the inevitable dilemma: “But one must die, and one must live.” A memorial to disenfranchisement, sacrifice, and the duality of survival.

"If only they knew, martyrdom is not death, 

I wish they knew it's a gift,

It's a twin to resistance 

But one must die and one must live"

—  Canadian Palestinian poet Areej Kaood 

She is prepared and composed, in a moment of quiet tension, where the world seems to stand still for a heartbeat. A deep inner focus permeates her posture, as if gathering the force that precedes an imminent discharge. Her appearance heralds an attack – not in a physical sense, but an advance that seeks to overcome time and space, an impulse pointing towards an impending quantum leap. At the same time, she is a spolium, a relic of the past that refuses to remain confined within rigid historical categories. She moves between the fluid boundaries of memory and the present, carrying traces of the past into the current moment and shifting the layers of meaning through which we perceive her. Thus, she becomes a paradoxical entity: simultaneously a herald of what is to come and a witness to what has already been.

"In a dream I asked him what can I do if I can't change it and he pointed to the graves and whispered: witness it"

— Rumi

As part of the series "The Beauty of Resilience", this anthropomorphic vase depicts a figure that appears decapitated and frozen in its movement. Its piercing scream has long fallen silent while it remains motionless in a seated posture. Inspired by the words of the poet Rumi, the work transforms the helplessness in the face of conflict into a powerful dignity of bearing witness. The sculpture stands as a quiet, dignified guardian for the fates of those innocently entangled. Looking beyond the ruin of violated human rights, it becomes a timeless symbol of survival, silent remembrance, and the invincible power of resistance: witness it.

The box-shaped ceramic relief from the series "Nomadic Archives of Ecocide" is a fault line turned to clay, composed of wool fibers and artifacts from a destroyed nomadic culture. The work evokes a deep sense of consternation in the viewer and follows a single, profound thought: keeping the memory of an ecocide alive across generations.

"It's not enough to die"

The shield no longer protects from the impact; it is the victim itself. Because physical destruction is not enough, the erasure targets collective memory — a painful reality captured by the subtitle “It’s not enough to die.” Yet, the red-bonded fractures and flowing fringes refuse to be silenced. Like stitched wounds, they defiantly hold the shattered pieces together. Within this aesthetics of the mended lies an unyielding resilience: it stands as a proud testament to a community that refuses to surrender its beauty and dignity, even in a state of extreme fragmentation.

"You will live another death"

 Beneath the protective mantle lies a merciless truth: “You will live another death.” The work stands as a monument to a survival that merely delays the next catastrophe. Yet, within the delicate, intricate motifs of the drape, an indomitable resistance breaks through. Every artful fold bears witness to the resilience of beauty, which defies erasure. Even amidst the ashes of life and homeland, the ceramic preserves this exquisite aesthetic — serving as an indestructible testament to dignity, the will to survive, and the hope for an imperishable existence.
