I have settled my account with life. I sacrificed my dreams, my love for my family. My love for my country. I chose to survive, together with my daughters.
These words by Fida Alwaer pave the way for her art: a practice that intertwines color, memory, and lived experience, giving shape to stories of resistance, rights, and dignity.
