I bleed river 2124
Video installation 2024 …..
once upon a date
i followed a river and a familiar face
i knew not where…..
there,
near the earth, where war never ends
a bird was bombed ; a crude chemical blaze;
the river once calm, engulfed that flame
i knew not where…..
and all who believed the river must die
and all who believed an eye for an eye
100 years later…
tears solidified…
“I Bleed River 2124” : the confluence of war , a burning water body, suffused with toxic smoke, marked with the date 2124—symbolizing a future ; one hundred years from our present moment .
Engulfed in a remote inferno sparked by bombings, the river’s narrative is fundamentally altered.
A shifting glossary traces twenty-first-century conflicts—Gaza, Baghdad, Khartoum, Kermna, Kharkiv, Kasindi, Mariupol, Iran, West Asia….#unworld
shut up— a secret alphabet
the mouth becomes a lake
holding unshed rain
the walls learn quietly
how to listen
(a small riot waits) ………………………………………………………………from the recent solo show ‘What Do Birds Dream At Dusk?……. #unworld
