Artwork description: The feeling of stability or its absence led me to reflect on my lifestyle, far from my family and the conventional life that people usually lead. Far from my father, with whom it would have been normal to see every day, to greet him with a “good morning” before I left for school, and to spend time with him after he returned from work. But that was not the reality I lived; I only saw my father for two days on weekends due to the separation wall that meant my father lived in Ramallah while my mother, my sisters, and I lived in Jerusalem. The story of the project began the day I was born but developed as my thoughts evolved and as I started brainstorming. I realized how I could translate my life into a work of art. I began thinking about using flowers because they are a simple and popular element, and they connect to my childhood as my father owns a flower shop. The work features 400 transparent, colorless flowers, suggesting their abstraction from their beauty and the absence of my father from my daily life. Alongside them, there are 50 colorful flowers arranged like a bouquet on a table at a wedding, hinting at the pleasant and joyful time I spent with my family in Ramallah. I chose to cover the flowers in concrete to hint at the harshness of the wall. The concrete blocks form the base of the colorful flowers as a metaphor for the grayness of the wall.
