Visualizing traumatic memory of the clothing and belongings of the Kurdish victims of the Anfal genocide, who were buried in shallow mass graves in remote desert locations in the South of Iraq between 1987-1988. I have used sand to recreate environment of the event within texture in my work as it is related to the place of the genocide in the desert. There is a variation of works that I have created with using different elements and materials such as location (Site) which is related to the area were the genocide and atrocity occurred.  The impact of using clothing absent bodies in order to memories the event in the pass and connected to the present, embodying through the skill of artistic works that I have created.
