short benefit about palestaine
Palestine, now occupied and named Israel, lies on the western edge of Asia. Lebanon and Syria borders Palestine on the north, the Mediterranean sea to the west, to the south by the Gulf of Aqaba and the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula, and to the east by the Kingdom of Jordan. A Mediterranean climate prevails in Palestine. Summers are hot and dry. Winters are rainy and cold. The weather in Gaza is fair and warm in winter, and hot and dry in the summer. The average temperature in the West Bank in the summer is 29 degrees Celsius, in winter it is 12 degrees Celsius
three currencies are used in Palestine, The Jordanian Dinar, the American dollar and the Israeli shekel. The official language is Arabic, but the majority speak English and many speak Hebrew, French and some Latin..Historically, the land of Palestine was populated by a people known as the Palestinians. Palestinians have always been religiously diverse, with the Muslim majority maintaining friendly relations with their Christian, Jewish, and Druze neighbors.
At the turn of the 20th Century, a new Jewish nationalist ideology called Zionism was developed. Zionism called for the creation of a Jewish homeland, the result is many people of both sides is killed looking for homeland or country.
The main question is it important to have a country or it's our nature to belong to group?
If it yes to belong to group, so why we just found our self in it and we should stay and die for it without even chose it.

my work
My art work revolves around the hidden face of the (globalization racism and the prejudgment and its impact on the human) which is hidden under many stereotypes that we deal with in our daily life, I chose the passport (which is a document, issued by a national government, certifying the purpose of international travel, the identity and nationality of its holder. The elements of identity are name, date of birth, sex, and place of birth. Most often, nationality and citizenship are congruent).
Through the passport you can recognize the identity( that one is partly defined by; belonging to a particular group and social roles) when you open it, the color of the passport creates an image for the holder depending on the place he comes from and the geographical, social and historical background of the country. This image is designed to be delivered to people through the variety media agent ( so it can be said that an identity is designed for each country).
For example if you have a Palestinian passport and you are a women when they see your passport they will wonder if you are a Palestinian (why aren’t you wearing a scarf, are you Muslim? You are so beautiful is there any blond people in Palestine -if not blond- you look Spanish are you pure Palestinian or just living there? )
From my own experience of having two passports, I decided to study this phenomenon finding out that the passport is cragged to help a new kind of caste races to arise. This depends on the nation that you come from, creating an image for each nation (image for the identity of the holder). The interpretation given by the image of the passport document for its citizens may get to us through the media. For example, when we say Palestinian the first thing to come in mind is a terrorist or a victim (the media factor is marketed to people easily as it is unpaid media). This image identifies the human hidden behind the passport's figure which contains the identity, through this document a person identifies what country he belongs to, and at the same time he is judged by the other party based on the international categorization of the country. The passport became a method of pre-judgment based on the international stratification of the country.
As a result, people who have the passport with a low classification according to the ranking, look forward to obtain another passport for them and their children with a better classification (the other document contains another design from one hand and another identity from the other) to save them from the passport's bad suffering that they experience from holding their first passport, as I mentioned previously (escaping through passport pregnancy).
FOR EXAMPLE

Umaiah salman

Two in one: My first passport, Palestinian, woman, wearing a scarf supposed, Muslim of course (although many religions, especially the three major religions which are known in Palestine. Islam, Jewish and Christian include people who wear scarves). Again stereotypes add the question whether I am terrorist or not.
Taking into consideration the situation and suffering in my homeland many questions run in their minds after seeing my passport, it all depends on the identification given by the world towards Palestinian women.
The second passport (Brazilian) gives the image of a woman with dark skin, sexy body, beautiful features, with knowledge about sports etc. No religion attached to this passport, no matter what the religion is, there is no scarf because it’s not an Arabic country and many questions run on their mind depending on the world's identification of the Brazilian women
I am trying to present some of the common stereotypes hidden under daily life style that we deal with every day feeding pre-judgment, and by dealing with it we support its growth
That’s why now day I am work on the image of the human (that image which is given to the people through media ) depending on their nationality.
