The Distance Between Us, Two glasses and 60 chickpeas, 2022

This piece draws from a childhood memory when the artist’s father was living abroad. Two months before his return, her mother placed 60 chickpeas in one of two glasses. Each day, the artist would move one chickpea from the first glass to the second. The number of chickpeas symbolized the distance between her and her father, making the waiting time and anticipation palpable.
