The physical summary of the whole research on Palestine. From the movie “Salt of this sea“ to the documentary ‘The Death of the Dead Sea’ by NOVA, to landscape, to academic papers, to literature and powerful words like the Book Aperiogon by Colum McCann and all the stories behind them. Starting from more scientific approaches of exploration in the Dead sea, sinkholes, landscapes, I dived more into the political, cultural, historical issues in Palestine. But I still consider it all, a question mark for me. There are still so many unknowns and more to explore.

At first glance, things in these two frames are all fragments and pieces. But the process is actually the opposite. For the parent house design, I need to disassemble the design into renders or short videos and everything in 3d for her to better understand. While on the other hand, the process of trying to know more about what is happening in Palestine is through picking up pieces and pieces of little stories, maps from so many websites, stories from different interviews, diving really deep into the research engine and academic paper as well. But still, because I was never there, I have never talked to anyone actually from Palestine or Israel, so all these may not be their truth. This is my version of partial truth through all information I can find on the internet and media like movies and documentaries.

THE INVISIBLE LINES HANGING AND LINKING UP ALL THE PIECES IN TWO FRAMES ARE ALL CONNECTED. A LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM, A BLOODLINE, A RELATIONSHIP, A CONNECTION, A BELONGING, AN INFORMATION NET…

MAKE THE INVISIBLE VISIBLE.
