I use the square as a basic metaphor for space. Illustrating the universality of territorial dynamism, "Notyetness,
No. 2" is a linguistic composition that examines spatial construct that is marked by both Modernism and globalization.
The vortex of nested squares propose shared realities, behavior, and relationships. Color in this piece and the sense
of movement that flows along the picture's surface are a reference to dynamic systems, such as water.
The words, “Not Yet” refer Reem Faddaʼs essay “Notyetness” which uses the term to describe the state of
Palestinian national project and the Israeli/Palestinean reality. Despite the inert constant lack of notyetness, it becomes a driving force of action and self-regeneration. Notyetness proposes a break in the period of digress, it is a zone where everything is possible. Linearly organizing the piece are incomplete rows and gaps that articulate an imagined physicality. Using a range of blues and greens the words "not yet" in Hebrew and Arabic fill the picture plane, describing a collective feeling of mixed emotion. In between the words and grid is a knitted fabric of social connection the probes the meaning of one single thread that has looped into itself.
