This work was made at the beginning of the artist’s exploration into using ants as a medium to express herself. The small insects later appear inside her paintings as representative of indigenous populations, resilient and surviving in the face of displacement. This geometric piece comprises thousands of hand-painted ants in a precise pattern. Perhaps, like calm waters before a stone is thrown in, this piece represents the Palestinian people prior to diaspora.


Each ant is meticulously hand painted. The physical art was then photographed and animated, accompanied by the audio from a microscopic recording device, depicted the actual sound of marching ants.

Into The Revolution collection image

Into The Revolution: an exhibition of NFTs alongside physical art curated by MORROW collective.

Revolution indicates change. NFTs represent a revolution in the art world. They are opening up new potential and opportunities for creators, producers and buyers of art. In this exhibition, you will see physical artworks and NFTs derived from those pieces.

Also, you will notice that one shape is dominant; the circle. The circle is a continuous round, a revolutionary shape, one that signifies movement and speed and, it is a fitting metaphor for the pace at which we are hurtling into the brave new world of crypto art.

Welcome to the revolution.
