Contrast No. 2 by Fuad Alyamani
Alyamani explores the contrast between contemporary daily life and the traditional lifestyle of the Palestinian farmer. His work examines how the introduction of services and capitalist systems has reshaped the farmer’s routines, habits, and connection to the land, all within the context of the ongoing political situation. He also delves into the mental state of wandering—particularly common among the elderly and working class—who often find themselves distracted or absorbed by artworks, ideas, or unanswered questions. Through his practice, Alyamani draws connections and comparisons between these elements, constructing a layered reflection on personal and collective experience.
