Hazem Harb ,
Saved Works 1999 - 2003
Various mediums and dimensions
This collection comprises expressive paintings and mixed-media compositions created by Harb between 1999 and 2003 while he lived in Gaza. These artworks offer a chronicle of the everyday realities he encountered – the architecture, refugee camps, family, marketplaces, and people that defined his existence there. The profound impact of erasure on the depicted scenes lends these works new significance, and their retrieval from Gaza by the artist within this context imbue them with a heightened meaning.
