“What About Us” is the first piece in a series Cyan worked on dedicated to the Palestinian people. It is a found image of two children holding each other. It is printed on a thin sheet of glass using a gelatin and cyanotype mixture. 

 

“Lace for Those Lost” is the second in a series dedicated to the Palestinian people who have lost their lives during the genocide taking place. It is composed of a found image of a small child in distress being held by her mother and is printed on an old knit doily.

Cyan started this series of work because the only way they know how to discuss and process traumatizing, horrific events in the world is through art. It is not meant to be trauma porn or an infantilization of destructive, devastating events happening in Palestine. They hope this work sparks thoughts and meaningful conversation around  world events.

 

Both pieces have been sold at a charity auction with funding going towards humanitarian aid programs sending materials to Palestine.
