Installed in the center of the administrative floor of Avery Hall at Columbia University on the 566th day of the U.S.-Zionist genocide against the Palestinian people of Gaza. This project is not a proposal or a solution; the only path forward is the dissolution of the Zionist entity and the total liberation of Palestine. Instead, the installation serves as a historical lexicon of refusal: refusal to yield to colonization, refusal to rebuild under the terms of the U.S. Empire, refusal to clear the ruins, and refusal to forget. The debris of homes, mosques, and schools, the debris of a nation, is not waste—it is an archive of memory, martyrdom, and survival. Every fragment holds testimony. This installation insists that debris should not be treated as material to be removed or sanitized, but metabolized into the architecture of return.
