Muriel Hasbun

3

This work is part of a series in which Muriel Hasbun explores her heritage as the descendent of Palestinian Christian and Polish Jewish exiles raised in El Salvador. Using a darkroom enlarger, Hasbun layered a photograph taken in Buenos Aires in the 1920s of her maternal great grandfather, Lejzor Finkielsztajn, with a more recent landscape she made near her home in Washington, DC.

  • A vertical photograph of a snowy forest landscape.
