Ataba عتبة is a threshold, a point of passage between one space and another. Drawing on the inherited geometries of Palestinian and Levantine architecture, these works transform a familiar form through repetition and movement. The arches echo like memory, altered though their passage yet still connected to their origin.

Sada / on Echoes is a solo show by Palestinian-American artist Charles Karim Aweida. His  metal-woven sculptural bodies draw on the algorithms of an echo: resonance carried at a distance, separated from its origin yet bound to it. To live in the Palestinian diaspora is to know this distance intimately. The echo always remembers the voice that breathed it into life.
