I was born in Jerusalem, and much of my work begins with the city and the changes I have witnessed there. As an artist and curator, I am interested in how places carry their histories, how those histories are recorded, and what remains when landscapes and communities are transformed.

I work primarily through photography, archival research and projects developed in relation to particular places. Historical photographs often provide a starting point, a way to examine the distance between an earlier image and the present-day reality. In projects such as Past Tense, The Hejaz Railway in Palestine and Suomenlinna, I follow traces of what has survived, changed or disappeared. I think of this process as a form of visual archaeology: reading images and places as layers to understand how the traces of power, violence, resistance and everyday life is shaping our life and defining our future.

My work has been exhibited internationally, with solo exhibitions at Zawyeh Gallery Dubai, the Goethe-Institut Ramallah, Birzeit University and the W. F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research. Alongside my own practice, I have curated exhibitions internationally and worked in the establishment and direction of cultural institutions, including Al Ma’mal Foundation for Contemporary Art, the Sharjah Biennial, Sharjah Art Foundation and the Black Gold Museum. These roles have brought me into sustained exchange with artists, researchers and communities, and continue to inform how I approach my own work.
