Look Inside America examines the enduring realities of settler colonialism, imperialism, and expansionism as they manifest in everyday American life.
The images are created from the perspective of an Arab observer and incorporate quotes from both historical and contemporary figures. They reflect on themes such as land, Indigenous erasure, racial hierarchy, animal exploitation, white supremacy, and genocide—framing these not as isolated events but as interconnected systems that continue to shape the American present. The narrative is both personal and political—rooted in the grief of loss and the resistance that follows injustice.
