Collection: Dar û Bar

Some “dar û bar” for Spring. In Kurdish dar means tree/wood and bar fruit/harvest. It’s a saying I grew up hearing and saying and I love the way it sounds together. To me dar û bar evokes nature and abundance but also roots and what grows from those roots. Earthy, alive and a representation of heritage.

This is a small body of work I created right at the beginning of the new year/Newroz, my muse being the feelings of renewal and reawakening that spring evokes in me.

I used photos I took from my last trip to southern Kurdistan in 2023 and loved being able to use them in this way.
