Baqarah

Baqarah began from an emotional period in my life when I found myself in a constant state of sacrifice. I started noticing the things we sacrifice every day like our time, emotions, memories, desires, and parts of ourselves.

In ancient myths, sacrifice was often physical: a body, an animal, or even a child offered to a god, as in the stories associated with Moloch. Today, perhaps we no longer perform sacrifice in the same physical way, but the act remains within us. It continues through emotional and bodily memory, through what we give up, suppress, or leave behind.

In a time when the human being has become increasingly a receiver of images, information, objects, and endless consumption ,Baqarah asks whether we still need the act of giving something away, and what sacrifice might mean now.
