One channel video installation
A close-up scene of a small Iraqi girl’s hands, holding two white disposable plastic spoons. She is playing with small pebbles, singing an Iraqi children’s song about peace.
Song lyrics:
Dear moon,
Why do you appear like a song about loneliness
When he has been gone for so long?
My memories are coming back to me
Like colorful rays of time,
Making it easier for me to express my longing for him,
When I feel so empty inside
The rays follow me wherever I go.
The colorful rays will lead me there one day.
