style=\"margin-bottom:1.5em;\"><strong><em>Hay\u0101t al-Hay\u0101t<\/em><\/strong> belongs to <strong><em>Serpents, Genies, Chimeras and Other Wonders<\/em><\/strong>. Where <strong><em>The Jinn from the West<\/em><\/strong> fictionalises the role of wife, this series turns to the role of mother \u2014 and to what happens when a woman's body refuses the future assigned to it. Rooted in Kosmatopoulos's own choice not to have children, the work moves beyond direct autobiography by giving that refusal the form of a contemporary serpent myth.<\/p><p data-stagger=\"0.08\" data-speed=\"1\" data-lag=\".2\" class=\" liko-animated-text-widget tp-el-animation-heading tp-section-title-span-padding tp_fade_bottom tp-animated-text-paragraph\" style=\"margin-bottom:1.5em;\">The series begins from a persistent cultural injunction: that motherhood is the horizon against which feminine identity is measured, and that a woman without children remains somehow incomplete, as though an empty womb were a space still waiting to be corrected. <strong><em>Hay\u0101t al-Hay\u0101t<\/em><\/strong> asks what becomes possible once that injunction is refused outright.<\/p><p data-stagger=\"0.08\" data-speed=\"1\" data-lag=\".2\" class=\" liko-animated-text-widget tp-el-animation-heading tp-section-title-span-padding tp_fade_bottom tp-animated-text-paragraph\" style=\"margin-bottom:1.5em;\">Across twenty panels, a serpent-woman moves through a world drawn from Islamic miniatures and Sufi imagery \u2014 sensual, multiple and ambiguous. She is not a simple figure of liberation. She passes through exile, rejection and anger; she escapes the charmer who tries to contain her, slips beyond the frame that would fix her into a single meaning, and refuses to give birth. Her pierced belly does not signify absence awaiting fulfilment. It is an opening through which another language can emerge.<\/p><p data-stagger=\"0.08\" data-speed=\"1\" data-lag=\".2\" class=\" liko-animated-text-widget tp-el-animation-heading tp-section-title-span-padding tp_fade_bottom tp-animated-text-paragraph\" style=\"margin-bottom:1.5em;\">Rejected by the world around her, she withdraws into the abyss and receives fire. The fire carries rage, but also the possibility of metamorphosis: it burns the narrative imposed on her body and allows another world to be built from what remains \u2014 one in which the female body exists as living, desiring, self-determined matter rather than a reproductive function.<\/p><p data-stagger=\"0.08\" data-speed=\"1\" data-lag=\".2\" class=\" liko-animated-text-widget tp-el-animation-heading tp-section-title-span-padding tp_fade_bottom tp-animated-text-paragraph\" style=\"margin-bottom:1.5em;\">Each textile is paired with a poem, image and text advancing together rather than one illustrating the other. The twenty works unfold as stages within the serpent-woman's passage, while the khayamiya panels bring writing and image into the same narrative field. Together, they produce a mythology of alternative fertility: the fertility of language, pleasure, silence, abandonment, imagination, breath, creation and desire. The serpent-woman does not reject life. She redirects its cycles, moving fertility away from biological continuity and towards the capacity to shape, transform and bring other forms into being.<\/p><p data-stagger=\"0.08\" data-speed=\"1\" data-lag=\".2\" class=\" liko-animated-text-widget tp-el-animation-heading tp-section-title-span-padding tp_fade_bottom tp-animated-text-paragraph\" style=\"margin-bottom:1.5em;\">The title rests on the proximity of two Arabic words: hay?t, life, and hayyah, serpent \u2014 separated by a single letter, opening onto entangled worlds. <strong><em>Hay\u0101t al-Hay\u0101t<\/em><\/strong> may mean the life of serpents, or life itself.<\/p><p data-stagger=\"0.08\" data-speed=\"1\" data-lag=\".2\" class=\" liko-animated-text-widget tp-el-animation-heading tp-section-title-span-padding tp_fade_bottom tp-animated-text-paragraph\" style=\"margin-bottom:1.5em;\">Rooted in Sufi traditions where absence may already contain presence, the project moves between emptiness and fullness, flesh and light, silence and cry. It does not oppose motherhood or diminish its meaning. It questions the way motherhood is imposed as the inevitable completion of female existence, often at the expense of other possible lives.<\/p><p data-stagger=\"0.08\" data-speed=\"1\" data-lag=\".2\" class=\" liko-animated-text-widget tp-el-animation-heading tp-section-title-span-padding tp_fade_bottom tp-animated-text-paragraph\" style=\"margin-bottom:1.5em;\">At its most intimate, the series is also a letter addressed to the pregnancy the artist never desired \u2014 an explanation of why it never came, belonging neither to failure nor to regret.<\/p><p data-stagger=\"0.08\" data-speed=\"1\" data-lag=\".2\" class=\" liko-animated-text-widget tp-el-animation-heading tp-section-title-span-padding tp_fade_bottom tp-animated-text-paragraph\">What has not been transmitted through flesh is carried elsewhere \u2014 in fabric, language, image and creation.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-140894b e-con-full ek-story-wrap e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"140894b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1dea2a8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"1dea2a8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>\n.ek-story{width:100%;box-sizing:border-box;padding:24px 0 120px calc(max(0px,(100% -
