This series explores the layered cultural and ecological memory of Ghayathi. Handmade from local alfalfa fibers, the paper becomes a fragile yet powerful vessel for oral history and place. Through my own visual language of mark-making, constructing and reconstructing, the textured fibers guide the work, carrying traces that echo survival and transformation. Each sheet serves as a living document: rooted in tradition, shaped by modernity, and resisting cultural erasure through material storytelling.
