Miraas( Heritage) is a sequalized collection in its first series of which 22 frames of red, white and green sets will be on display from 11 Feb to 16 Feb. 2011 in Haft Samar Gallery.
In this tenth individual exhibition of mine I have made use of photo-scans taken from installations of photos and objects to create images that will be displayed in the form of collages and light boxes.
In this first installment of Miraas the ultimate combination of the three colors renders the colors of my country's flag. While each seperate exhibit refers individually to the concept of heritage, they hand in hand flag my national identity, which I view as an invaluable heritage.
This, though, does not stop me from seeing Miraas (Heritage) as one of those words which carries in itself literal, real, ironic, metaphoric and a whole list of other meanings which essentially defy perception and leaves us at the end of our lives wandering upon our haves and have nots resorting to a poetic rendition that, Life and being is my heritage. My only hope is that those to come will keep it dear
