“I built for myself a new world. My World. I try in most of my work to show a trace of light. I jump to an invisible world - to a place where only the imagination can reach. There, I start to sense a little of the private intimacy of the world, its hidden gentleness, the power of light  and its behavior. In my photographs, I offer the viewer the opportunity to be transported from a normal and known dimension to another one. To one where the imagination is the only bridge one can rely on as means of vision.’Who ever wants to see the invisible has to penetrate more deeply into the visible’”

Scream of the Valley - Wadi Al-Nisnas

Creator: Rana Bishara | 1997

“‘Cactus is like a language for me and I seldom use it as subject for drawing but as the thing itself in three dimensions.’ In Haifa, she found a fragment of an old home - a wall still standing after Israeli destruction. Rana hung it with cactus leaves and between them she hung fragments of Arabic tiles often found at the site of destroyed homes. She called the work ‘Scream of the Valley - Wadi Al-Nisnas.’ She explained that Nisnas is the animal like a cat that is long in shape. And wadi means valley. The Nisnas is extinct in this valley now. Thus use of the phrase in this context is intended to describe how Arabs feel in Israel - deeply threatened. As time went by the cactus leaves sprouted and the meaning of that is not lost on either of us.”
