Contrapuntal is an artist book with images that respond to poetry in the Sabbar manuscript written by Palestinian poet Dina Omar. This work examines the contradictions that exist between the occupier and the occupied while celebrating resistance. The name of this project is borrowed from Dina Omar’s poem “Contrapuntal” from her manuscript, Sabbar.
