GAZA, Oct 5 (Reuters) – Palestinian artist Khaled Hussein’s sculptures of human limbs are on display in a Gaza exhibition he calls “I Miss You Very Much”, inspired by the loss felt by amputees, including victims of the conflict with Israel. It has become a phenomenon, so I wanted to work on this issue and reflect it artistically,” Hussein, 46, told Reuters. Seven of Hussein’s sculptures of limbs went on display this month in a Gaza art gallery. A leg depicted beside a mirror is a reference to a therapy technique that uses vision to treat pain amputees can feel in their missing limbs. But the work explores the loss of a limb regardless of the cause.
