Mixed media on canvas.51.20x31.50"The original idea of this collection, named “Location Isolation", started from the fact that forms and structures can have their own attraction regardless of where they are located. Old structures and buildings have their own story, beyond the political or historical view. These buildings witnessed different times and people, and now, after transforming them into museums, the buildings are not the same. As if someone was evicted, and now this home is no one’s home anymore. Mona’s photography of these historical locations along with her photomontage of the historical events, attempts to illustrate recurring events at the same locations. This can be thought of as a co-existence and a continuation of different lives at a single location. The final touch of color and texture added to Mona’s work emphasizes on the most important part of the piece, which is Mona’s deep connection to the location used.
