Personal Info
- Country of residence: Palestine
Information
Ashraf Fawakhry lives in Haifa, Israel. The xerographs and illuminated plastic hearts in Line 13 pay homage to the first 13 martyrs in the current uprising, the Al Aqsa Intifada.
The donkey, known for its toughness and obstinacy, is a comic stand-in for the Palestinian people. These 48 rubber stamps on wood blocks are part of a serial work in which he casts the donkey in an enormous number of situations and permutations. They range from the whimsical to the poetic and they serve as reminders that the Palestinians living in Israel retain their older identity as Palestinians.
