the idea of jiddan asif (very sorry) stems from the power of apology. the word 'very' is positioned in a circle at the top of the painting, and the word 'sorry' is positioned in a circle below it, both drawn in a very distinctive way. separated by the words: "in front of us, he is far away, with us, he is silent. this is not how i am used to him, nor is this the way of this time. for those who have the right to approach to move away, and for those who have the right to move away to move away." each element in this painting reflects the quiet presence of these words and the subtle tension between strength and apology, between emotion and brokenness, while the expression separating them remains open to complete and strengthen the meaning later.
