Ruba Salameh: Stripcle B.R.O.

This is Ruba Salameh’s GENESIS piece.


From a 2020 body of work titled Tensegrity, this painting challenges authority. The minimalist geometric shapes are being colonised by an extra-terrestrial element: ants. Despite their size and their innocuous presence, Salameh is using the ants as a device to launch subtle criticism upon notions of occupation and colonial power, a commentary that directly stems from her Palestinian identity. The tiny ants, although resilient, also perhaps, indicate the powerlessness of the Palestinian struggle.

This piece is originally an acrylic on canvas, with each ant meticulously hand painted. For the NFT counterpart, the ants have been individually animated and can be seen crawling step by step across the frame.
