    This work is inspired by the skulls found in Jericho from the Neolithic era.

    Shukri is a work that captures wisdom, peace, a look without judgment, clean and pure, of unconditional love. It aims to impregnate the space where the work is exhibited with that emotion and sensation.

    Contextualization:

    ​It seems that it was the custom of the city of Jericho to keep the skulls of their deceased loved ones in their homes, but not only the skull itself, they covered it with plaster and painted it, trying to reproduce, as best they could, the face of the relative. deceased.

    They had the firm belief that these protected the home and those who lived in it. They also asked them for advice, talked to them, told them how their day had gone. They managed to ensure that their loved ones remained in their lives in some way.
