Uproot is an installation of botanical drawings that follow the list of 143 species from Dr. Michael Zohary's book The Weeds of Palestine and Their Control (published in 1941). On the basis of the fauna of the region, the artist shows the interweaving of botanical names and political connotations. The illumination of unconscious ideological and repressive narratives in science is particularly interesting against the background of the complex cultural, political and civilizational crisis in the modern Middle East, where there is a constant struggle for meanings, appropriations and claims to several "truths".
