MOTHER
Made the Made the Mountains
دەستی
MOTHER
دەستی دایکان بەرزترین لوتکە کانی چیا کان ڕائەگریت/ دەستەکانی خۆی زەوی دەتاشی"
Mother moulds the highest peak of the Çîxî Derê.
Her Hands Can Mend its Rift.
She holds the mysteries of the earth
She is the sculptor and protector of all life.
Interpretation of Kurdish-Soroni poem

Ever since visiting Turkey with my Daughter and grandson where I heard a Kurdish man’s story, I’ve been struck by the tenacity of the Kurds in their history of defending their homelands. Especially urgent now that USA has withdrawn from the mutual defense pact. Of course Turkey attacks Kurdistan. again.
Armed Kurdish women shed their Muslim coverings to form a militia. In my art they originate from the Zagros- MOTHER MOUNTAIN - the tattooed craggy nurturer.
