The Soul's Repose
Weaved in a simple way with fabric the dolls were made, each doll with own unique identity, with her own life, maybe with her dreams similar to the material she is made from, the material and fabric are simple, these dolls became part of me, they tell me their stories, they became my obsession for months, I took their side and I got confused if they were for real or just mere dolls. I had little experience in sewing and I got stung by the needles few times, although they were little stings but they were painful and made me wonder, how much pain and agony women had to go through when they were beaten, tortured or killed.
When the first doll was finished, stories started coming to me, feelings and emotions emerged, each doll became a woman, each woman tells a story  and each story comes with pain, life comes back to the hero after she was abandoned by relatives and beloved ones, I supported my dolls that I became one of them.
This artwork is a dedication for all of the women, who were beaten, insulted physically and emotionally and those deprived from their rights. They are not victims anymore, they are angles, perhaps flying above or rising above human race.  For now they need no laws and rules to protect them nor do they need humans to give them justice.

"العرض التركيبي (150 ) دمية "راحة الروح
بدمى من قماش... نسجت بطريقة بسيطة و فطرية، لكل واحدة منها هويتها و كيانها... لها حياتها الكاملة، لها ربما أحلامها التي تشبه المواد التي صنعت منها، مواد لا تخلو من البساطة... تحولت هذه الدمى إلى جزء مني، تروي حكاياتها علي وأصبحت شغلي الشاغل خلال عدة شهور... إنحزت إليهن و بت لا أعرف إذا كنّ نساء حقيقيات أم هن بالفعل دمى.  ولقلّة خبرتي في الحياكة، فقد تعرضت لوخز الإبرة بالخطأ عدة مرات، وكانت بقدر ما هي صغيرة بقدر ما هي مؤلمة، ومباشرة كان ينتابني سؤال: كم من العذاب والألم تعرضت له نساء عندما تعرضن للضرب والتعذيب والقتل؟ مع أول دمية أنجزتها بدأت تتسلل إلي حكايا و قصص، بدأت تنمو مشاعر وأحاسيس... كل دمية إمرأة و كل امرأة حكاية وكل حكاية مخزون من الوجع.
مع كل دمية تكتمل كانت ثمة رواية تكتمل... ثمة حياة تعود لبطلتها تلقيها علي بعدما أنكرها الأقرباء والأحبة، لم أعد مجرد متضامنة معهن، صرت شريكة كاملة... لم أنجز هذا العمل إلا ليكون إشارة بسيطة لكل تلك النسوة اللواتي تعرضن للضرب  الإهانات الجسدية والمعنوية وتم السطو على حقوقهن. هن الآن  لسن ضحايا بل ربما ملائكة أحرار،  أعلى مرتبة من البشر، لا يحتجن لقوانين لتحميهن ولا للبشر لإنصافهن
