This artwork tackles the notion of hidden messages. Through this artwork, a hidden message is revealed when UV light is pointed on the palm engraving, the message reads “Women are not Possessions” in Arabic, which is a quote said by my mother in a magazine in the 70s in the UAE. As I recently uncovered this quote, I felt it is very relevant to bring this quote to the present thus the notion of revealing.
