Installation, brick and glass rubble, brick dust, dust, shadows, 2020.
This work takes part of the collection of the future Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Palestine, a UNESCO project, since 2021.


Memories linger is a sculptural installation composed exclusively of demolition debris (brick and glass). It seeks to highlight the importance of images as carriers of memory, enduring even after any physical destruction.

This work is part of the future Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Palestine’s collection, a project supported by UNESCO. The collection is currently hosted temporarily at the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris and is presented through traveling exhibitions.

A remnant of brick dust impregnates the surface, it survived the demolition. Possible everyday memories, ordinary for those who are unaware of their symbolism. The kitchen floor pattern that has been redrawn so many times by the children’s fingers, the entrance stairs that served as reading benches, the table served in the living room that, once again, prefigured the meeting…
These memories will remain beyond any physical destruction.
They persist, because they constitute us.
