Part of group exhibition Disclosing Discomforts sketching research from 17 artists and designers through action, participation, performance and installation.

How to move forward by looking into the past?
How to find comfort in chaos?
How to find comfort in order?

Mort Aux Vaches – “Death to Cows” (chapter 1) and Gateway to the North (chapter 2) describes how my life has been since the pre and post revolution : between chaos and order, blurriness and sharpness - from the Lebanese revolution to the Beirut blast (chaos) and finally my move to Amsterdam (sharpness).
