sanaa  . . . the careworn mother

2016
​

she stands there
in spite the odds . . .
she stands weighed down
against the wind
consumed 
with eternal worry

"an installation venturing through every mother's un-eased worry for her children"


​a mother is a universe that holds so many values, inspirations, connotations, expectations in the life of a son or a daughter. her presence is that of compassion and strength. empowerment and vulnerability. safety and refuge. a mother as strong as she is continuously consumed with worry for her children regardless of time or circumstances. this installation highlights this strength and worry.​

it is for my mother and through her to every mother that was weighed down with worry

this installation was premiered in:
room one - london - uk - 2016
