Undeniables of Exile
This experimental poster series is a personal project that explores the consequences of migration and exile. It captures the disorienting feeling of being caught between two worlds and perpetually stuck in a state of limbo. To enrich the narrative, I included quotes from poets and intellectuals who have experienced exile in various forms.
“I am from there. I am from here. I am not there and I am not here. I have two names, which meet and part, and I have two languages. I forget which of them I dream in.” - Mahmud Darwish
"When you take a tree that is rooted in the ground, and transfer it from one place to another, the tree will no longer bear fruit. And if it does, the fruit will not be as good as it was in its original place. This is a rule of nature. I think if I had left my country, I would be the same as the tree." - Abbas Kiarostami
“mingling with the remains of the plane, equally fragmented, equally absurd, there floated the debris of the soul, broken memories, sloughed-off selves, severed mother tongues, violated privacies, untranslatable jokes, extinguished futures, lost loves, the forgotten meaning of hollow, booming words, land, belonging, home.” - Salman Rushdie.
