Migrating home to Bahrain for the first time in 2020 made me feel like a stranger in my own land. Living abroad my whole life there was never a feeling of homesickness, because I did not know what home should feel like. My mother, daughter of a fisherman, always said, “stretch your legs as far as your blanket goes”. Never having spent time in Bahrain, it became a place I associated with loss: the death of my father, the turmoil of the Arab Spring and my mother’s second battle with cancer left a mark on my soul. This project is an unraveling of my cultural identity. To explore the threads of family, intimacy, masculinity and vulnerability. Sounds of laughter screaming love at the center of the universe, 
home is where I can tame the beast.
home is Chaos in soft colors.
