Birthed from Sonia Sulaiman's short story "Muneera and the Moon", rooted in Palestinian folklore and queer narratives. Muneera, the exiled daughter of Eve, appears night after night to lament to the heavens, only to realize what she’d taken for the luminous moon is in fact another solitary woman—a martyr saint from another veiled realm. Soon, a divine love blossoms between the two. Ashīqat Muneera is the sentinel deity of exiled lovers, the warrior who braids their hair before battle. This sculpture was built in porcelain from wheel-thrown and altered forms, and wood-fired on an August black moon.
