Paused, Deteriorated, Swallowed, and Stuck in my throat, 2025

7in x 9in lasercut Linocut prints on Mulberry Paper

"Pictures of my childhood home—
your home.
Empty for a decade,
the same time you’ve been dead.
Paused, deteriorated,
eaten, swallowed,
and stuck in my throat."

Pictures from the house I grew up in, my grandma's house, empty for 13 years and eaten by rats. Inspired by Islamic ornamentation, the pictures are framed as an attempt to make my home holy.
