What If You Had Stayed is a multi-channel video installation that introduces figurative and geometric sculptural forms as free-standing projection surfaces. This work stems from a photograph depicting my two aunts in their youth, taken in 1968 on their front porch in Aitaneet, Lebanon, before the outbreak of civil war. This work speaks to the story of their relationship, defined by closeness, separation, and longing.
