Weaving pixels into threads of past memories. Exploring the intricate relationship between rivers and textiles in the Mesopotamian marshes of Iraq. This work explores the possibility of transforming imagery present in Iraqi tapestries into a film. The film is split in 4 chapters or symbols. Each symbol represents the video imagery present behind it. Some of the video footage was filmed and sent to me by my family members who are currently living in southern Iraq. Other footage was extracted from multiple online video sharing websites and social media platforms.

This work transcends various geographies, Iraq, Belgium, and the virtual. Becoming a digital conversation with and through the carpet. Each symbol is complemented with an Iraqi song that portrays its meaning but also tackling notions of migration, feeling of yearning, and the act of remembrance.
