Untitled: Ness Lee

While Maqtha is a deeply masculine neighbourhood at most hours, its visual is more women-centric in the afternoons, when women across ages - from grandmothers to granddaughters, all get together in the streets, gathering in public spaces to chat about life, and general happenings in the neighbourhood. Through her piece Canadian artist Ness Lee wanted to acknowledge this togetherness, while also relating her female figures to mother Nature by painting a web of interconnected women - each one seemingly transitioning into an element of nature such as a tree, water and clouds.
