Go Educate Yourself 2024

children’s school desk, blown glass

This installation presents a children’s school desk, scarred by blown glass forms seared directly onto its surface. The organic, parasite-like glass suggests the invasiveness of scholasticide—the systematic destruction of educational spaces and the lives within them in Palestine. By inflicting visceral damage on an object once emblematic of learning and childhood, this work highlights the violent erasure of knowledge and the killing of students, challenging the viewer to confront the aggression toward those who strive to preserve their history and culture.
