Wounds of the Heart – An Artist and Her Nation

I watched your work, and i really like it. But i didnt see you move alot in the movie. because i think you can positively influence your work using your behaviour. because your behavior and your work really go nice together like Palestine and the human who live there. I wish you a lot of succes, and we like to hear more from you.
