The Loving Daughter

35mm + 120 film photographs
New York, Jordan, and Palestine
2018-2024

The Loving Daughter documents, the intimate and personal experience of the seven years spent as the caregiver of my grandmother, through the challenges of aging, dementia, and loss. The project examines the intersection of personal and collective history of Palestinian life where natural erasure through aging and memory loss exist alongside the violent imperial erasure caused by displacement and genocidal wars. At it’s core the project is an act of preservation of cultural knowledge, memory, and embodied feminine wisdom in the face of loss.

The loving daughter was an official recipient of the Staten Island art 2026 DC LA Premier grant the project culminates in a multimedia presentation pairing a mixed material photo book with a digital companion that expands a narrative across the range of mediums.
