Immortal City responds to the ongoing devastation in Syria, in which over 500,000 people have died, more than 6.5 million people have been displaced, and untold destruction has been visited upon the country’s rich cultural heritage. Alluding to calligraphy, textile and the ancient architecture of Palmyra, Bosra and Aleppo, here I engage with the historical fabric of my homeland with the hope of suggesting a life force that both survives and transcends its ruination.
