My artistic and personal practice has been recently deeply shaped by active involvement in human rights and justice-related initiatives connected to the genocide of Palestinian people. In September/October 2025, I participated in the humanitarian mission Global Sumud Flotilla, alongside more than 400 volunteers on 47 boats, with the aim of delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza via the Mediterranean Sea.

This experience — marked by solidarity, physical / psychological vulnerability, and moral contradiction — has become the starting point for a new performance art project. Through this work, I seek to translate lived experience into an embodied artistic language and to reflect on the contemporary meanings of human rights, justice, empathy, and care.

In a time when acts of extreme violence are globally mediated and consumed from the safety of private spaces, this performance asks: Is empathy in contemporary society sufficient, and what does it demand of us beyond observation?

This piece is participatory. However, your participation is voluntary. You are free to just watch.
