Discovery explores the moment when a buried past enters the present. The painting is concerned with what it means to encounter evidence of lives interrupted, and with the weight such a discovery leaves behind. The work was informed by the aftermath of the Anfal genocide in Kurdistan, particularly the discovery of mass graves and the confronting of histories that were forcibly erased.
