Amin In his Studio

2023
Amin in the Studio is a portrait of Palestinian textile artist and designer Amin, shown within the quiet intensity of his workspace. The painting captures a moment of stillness, where creation becomes both a spiritual act and a form of resistance. This work asks: What is the role of the artist in times of war? In this moment of global unrest and media manipulation, art becomes more than expression, it becomes evidence, resistance, protest, and preservation.

As bodies rotten,
The hands tremble,
She faces forward
Life shall prevail
Rebirth is a painting where both the artist and the viewer become creators of history by redefining it. The painting juxtaposes utter destruction brought by the war with an irresistible urge for life that lies in nature.
The piece poses such questions as: What is the role of the artist in the context of war? Can life be redeemed when one’s was lost? Are we able to honor one’s suffering while allowing ourselves to heal?
With her own gaze, the figure of the artist creates an alternative space of rebirth where life meets death, and rotten stones turn into new sprouts. By facing away from death that lies behind her the artist does not allow the pain and rage to consume her but simply seep through the tip of her brush. She honors the memory of those who passed while allowing her soul to find hope, once again.

An old woman sleeps beneath the hum of the LA Metro, her body folded beside bags far too large for her frame. The sight pulls me back to Ukraine, where grandmothers in their seventies move with the strength of those half their age, shoulders hunched not from weakness but from decades of carrying more than just weight.
