The Meaning of Death - Original Manuscript
In this dense, leather-bound manuscript—two hundred pages of mixed-media invention—Ganzeer confronts grief with something both intimate and unruly. Skulls multiply into patterned fields, a winged cranium weeps, and a television frame pipes in pop detritus. Between these fragments drift ritual motifs—eyes, birds, tears—scribbled and re-scribbled like notes to oneself, haunted by the witness of atrocity. The book does not merely mourn; it challenges the twisted rationales of those who excuse mass violence, puncturing denial with imagery as insistent as it is unflinching. Conceived in tandem with a tributary track by musician Ramy Essam, the work honors the late Rwandan activist Kizito Mihigo. Less a devotional object than a storm-bound codex, it oscillates between elegy and indictment, memory and refusal.
