Qassim focuses on the suitcase element, which plays a pivotal role in all of her artwork. The suitcase is a convenient means to carry our belongings; it comes in different colours and shapes; we carry one wherever we go, and it shares with us all our moments. Suddenly, the suitcase transforms from a source of comfort to a huge burden on its carrier. It plays the role of a suspect due to the occupation’s military blockades we are forced to go through. The artist chose a school in particular, because school students are often more targeted than others.
These themes are explored using acrylic, canvas and installation.
