CEMENT

In late 2017 I embarked on a body of work with two videos of a destroyed home in Aleppo at its heart. My aim is to translate the powerful ongoing exchanges I am fortunate to have with refugees in Berlin, to represent their lost homes and the lives they contained as something at once concrete and invisible. I made casts in cement, which contains echoes of the cinderblock that is often revealed after bombing, using a parallelogram for its sense of instability, an off-kilter version of traditional rectangular brick.
