A Funeral at the Edge of Drought WIP,  Single Channel Video, 11 mins, Presented at Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin, 2025

Filmed in Morocco’s Tighmert oasis, this piece sets women’s mourning songs alongside interviews, family photographs, and slow tracking shots of desiccated date palms. As villagers recall how monoculture farming and rising heat emptied their irrigation channels, the film stages a metaphorical funeral for a landscape in collapse—bearing witness to the parallel displacement of human and non-human communities when water, labor, and memory run dry. This video was first shown in my exhibition Blue Black at the Künstlerhaus Bethanien (April–June 2025).
