Description


statement
A collection of herrings

Fishes have been a symbol of life in all ancient legends and in the role of a savior.
  My saviors, but from the dark side of my existence where the void of culture, mother tongue and my homeland had become a wound in my being when I was a tired and helpless immigrant, Najiana built a wall of love around me and became the light of my life in the most difficult days of immigration.

  Why fish, you ask?  When I was a child, I used to go to the fish market with my mother and I would not return home until I was satisfied with the smell of the fish and the touch of their scales and eyes.  When I reached home, I was proud that the silver would be given to me along with my mother.  And in the end, eating it was not as enjoyable as I thought. Fishes have been the prince of my dreams ever since.

Fishes are mine and I sometimes wear fishes to keep warm
Sometimes I eat them so I don't starve
Sometimes I myself become a fish and prey of life.
