Project statement

The series of photographs are a living image for families looking for replacements for electricity cuts in Gaza, in 2012. The project attempts to reflect on the exceptional emissions of light in the urban scape along with greenhouse and fossil fuel gas smells and loud sounds of generators outside houses. This series stemmed out of an earlier project titled “Light” that the artist produced 2 years ago, it was a painting series that explored similar issues.

“SHAMBAR” is the oldest replacement for light that works on kerosene; it has been enhanced in Gaza to work on natural gas which is the cheapest among other resources and could be used in houses, shops and even carried on trips.
