About the show:

“Engaging with personal and national oral narratives from Palestine, Lebanon, and Canada, Boulos explores how the Palestinian Diaspora is constantly undergoing what philosopher Catherine Malabou calls “unprecedented metamorphosis,” a metamorphosis that is capable of abandoning a burdened body or identity to allow a new form to emerge. […] In “Will o’ Wisp”, Boulos also presents a series of ‘smash paintings’ on paper. These smash paintings replicate the intention of a Rorschach test, where the symmetrical image prompts an invitation for interpretation. Boulos takes images she’s familiar with and ‘smashes’ them, skewing the original subject, and doubling it, to reveal a new transformed image and with it fresh, even lucid visual interpretations.”
