                    8 min 7 sec




You’ll Take My Sight Away presents a series of voices and texts that expand into a meditation on collective sadness and temporal rupture. A central thread is a recording of a dream recounted by the artist’s mother:as she sees a luminous figure on a white horse in a meadow, who tells stories of the deceased.

The artist later learned that this vision is not unique, but one shared by many women in southern Lebanon—a land marked by enduring grief. This recurring dream becomes a site where personal loss merges with communal memory. 

Interwoven with this testimony are historic Arabic poems, a Naa’i recording reminiscent of funeral recitations from the Lebanese south and the south of Iraq, and the artist’s own writings on time, song, and the act of “entering time,” narrated in the style of an Iraqi tawr,—a melodic form of recitation associated with the lamentations of Ashura.
Excerpts and full video are availble upon request.
