Discourse on the Work Inspired by 'Orientalism' by Edward W. Said" Opening with a poignant quote, "ORIENTALISM" by Edward W. Said lays the foundation for a profound exploration into the complexities of cultural perceptions. The discourse emanates from the following words: "Those who find sweetness in their homeland are mere novices, still in the tender stages of learning. Those who perceive every patch of land as reminiscent of their homeland have matured into resilient beings. Yet, it is those who view the entire world as a foreign land that stand unassailable, truly invincible." This artistic endeavor draws inspiration from Said's contemplation on "Orientalism," delving into the nuanced interplay between familiarity and foreignness. The juxtaposition of perspectives, guided by Said's insights, serves as a rich tapestry for a visual narrative that invites contemplation on the fluid boundaries of identity and the profound journey towards a global consciousness.
