A selection of four of Adnan’s leporellos were exhibited as part of the Eurasia exhibition: Freedom of People, Freedom of Animals, Freedom of Plants, Freedom of Nature, Kassaed Bain Chajer (Poetry Between Trees), Les oliviers III and The World of Signs. Together they provide an insight into her reflections on humanity, language and nature. The work Freedom of People, Freedom of Animals, Freedom of Plants, Freedom of Nature for example, repeats in Arabic the phrases of the title in different orders, positing a holistic understanding of humanity as part of the natural world.
