Neighborhood is a song developed into a video performance with animation. Through lyrical storytelling and visual metaphors, Neighborhood draws attention to the reality of the children who are the victims of modern warfare. It deals with the immediate and long-term devastation that results on the land that is ravaged by war. Neighborhood pays respect to the people of Iraq, attributing Mesopotamian history as their own. The associations I make between Iraq, Mesopotamia and the prophet Abraham is to give the current people in Iraq and the land where they live a certain kind of dignity that should be preserved.
