The clay pot or "jarrah" in Arabic. An exploration that began with conversation with my father about my grandmother's preservation of the bounty of the land in south Lebanon. Each iteration not a memorial, but an assertion of life, of enduring existence, each telling a new story while honouring the stories of the past.
