Body Remains’ Flavoured Jellies , 2024
Gelatin cubes. 3x3.5 cm, nails, body discharges, hair.



Body Remains' Flavoured Jellies is an installation that consists of two parts:
The first part, for VIP guests only, is crafted from the artist’s body remains, hair, nails, and bodily discharges, molded into forms resembling familiar Western desserts.

These jellies are meant to be served for racist Western leaders. Recasting these desserts as amulets meant to heal them from the racism and violence they impose on indigenous communities.

This work embodies self-transformation or the Apocalyptic Self as a response to colonial violence and a form of resistance that heals Indigenous peoples from Violence. Palestinian poet George Abraham describes the "Apocalyptic Self" as a state where multiple selves inhabit the body—manifesting as the selves that survived, the selves we become, and those we had to "kill" to become. This state arises from the tension of being forced to exist within a colonial imagination that denies the full humanity of Indigenous peoples and the need to reclaim and reconstruct identity in order to resist oppression.

In the second part of this installation, the public is invited to eat strawberry-flavoured jelly to celebrate the power of collective resistance to colonial violence. This act aims to transform the work into a collective experience of healing.


As an extension to this project, a gathering on a rooftop in Mohammad Amin refugee camp in Jordan has been organised in 2024.

And another gathering for the public was organised in Gothenburg as part of the artist talk “Community is Sanctuary,” to speak about our experiences with community and celebrate the power of collective resistance to colonial violence. This act aims at transforming the work into a collective experience of healing.
