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 as a response to colonial violence and a form of resistance that heals Indigenous peoples from erasure. The work examines the power of continuous reconfiguration of the self as a mechanism to resist colonial imagination, which denies the full humanity of indigenous peoples, where the self transforms to become an amulet that heals those who are violent.

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.
