Following the enormity of urban growth and development over the past decade in Jordan, the artist set out to find the “edge of Amman”. However, this futile search led to a transformation of the idea of physical borders away from something linear and towards something circular in format, where the beginning and end are hard to define.
The title of Darat al Funun’s 30th anniversary, Truth is black, write over it | with a mirages light further informed the process, as the mirage literally became the focal point within re-imagined landscapes.
The ancient ruins at Umm Qais and Mount Nebo serve as destination points where one can gaze upon the borders to Palestine. These etheric visions are juxtaposed within three scenes: the city landscape of downtown Amman, the mountain terrain between Jordan and the Golan Heights, and the agricultural region of the Ghor along the Jordan River.
