Abaita
installation, participatory community project
2024
video art, site-specific installation, recycled materials
Abaita explores the trauma of forced relocation, immigrant longing, and the shifting roles of a woman as mother, wife, and professional. Using recycled materials, found objects, and family video archives, the participatory work redefines the idea of “home” as a shared, evolving space shaped by memory and collective contribution. The work was presented in May 2024 at “Not in a Desert”, Group Exhibition, Be’er Sheva, Israel.
