Zahra Marwan works investigate the complexity of being Middle Eastern in a reality different from that of her origins. His illustrations, evocative and ironic at the same time, are a delicate combination of random thoughts, small memories and dreamy images &#8211; snoozing in the afternoon, stumbling into a wedding, sitting out late at night laughing and drinking tea, eating watermelon after lunch at grandparents&#8217; homes &#8211; and they tell a lot about the complexity of her condition: about feeling foreigner anywhere she is, though often equally as comfortable, embraced in New Mexico while carrying a Kuwaiti heart.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>project and
