Routes III
Routes III by Mona Hatoum is a multi-part work in which the artist intervenes on printed maps using pen and pencil, tracing and disrupting the cartographic language of borders, territories, and pathways. The use of existing maps as a foundation references systems of power and geographic control, while Hatoum's hand-drawn marks introduce a personal, fragmented, and uncertain navigation across these defined spaces. As a artist of Palestinian origin who has lived in displacement, Hatoum transforms the map — a tool of fixed authority — into a site of instability, memory, and restless movement.
