an eye for an eye 

A collaborative video project with Artist Midi Onodera.

There is superstition is a collaboration between Midi Onodera and 12 guest artists. Each video will focus on a superstition proposed by one of the artists. Through different collaborative methods, the artists will create a short video presented on the first of each month. So as Midi said, “I dare you to step on a crack, break a mirror and schedule an important event on the Friday the 13th.”

an eye for an eye is the first video of the series published on January 1st, 2023 by Midi Onodera and Reem Al-Wakeal

In Egypt, Lebanon and in many Middle Eastern cultures, the evil eye is a form of protection from a curse that causes misfortune. The amulet can be worn through jewelry or placed around the house and other spaces to ward off evil spirits. The Evil Eye interests me because it is a reminder for me to stay humble with my achievements without flaunting them to protect myself from envy or jealousy that surrounds me that I am unaware of.
