The Most Hopeles Game

Who won the game? Who won the game?”

It is just competition.

It’s difficult for me to talk about being a winner or loser, as I’ve never experienced either completely.  When an individual faces a situation where they feel here is no chance to succeed, it often results in e sense of pity. At that point, an individual has a decision: accept the situation and pity yourself: or to become a fighter that doesn’t look over your shoulder and push forward trying to prove the naysayers wrong.

I have put myself at the center of the work. By focusing on the autobiographical, I am able to evaluate different points of view that align with political issues, nationalities and my personal life. My trip to Iran last summer that took three months effect on my work a lot. When I came back here, I saw myself as a person who feels uncertain about everything. According to the social and political issues, I cannot belong myself to either of these two countries. In addition, when I look at myself I see a woman, who is from the Middle East and leaving in the USA, which is complicated enough for making work about.

I have found myself asking the following question: if I were to win, does the game end and will I have the incentive to continue?
