The book InsideOut - Drawing War, Mothering Fear - by Lina Ghaibeh is a collection of some of the artist’s personal and political graphic narratives.
Through her work, Ghaibeh serves as a moral witness to political events throughout early youth and adulthood, weaving through authoritarianism and unthinkable loss. As Ghaibeh moves inward, she shows how these outer storms echo through the anxieties of motherhood, the questions of selfhood shaped by being an identical twin, and the tender, complicated work of caring for others when the world feels unsteady.
Her work is bold, textured, layered, and sometimes playful. The stories she shares hide nothing, they are transparent and hold a clarity to them. The design needed to allow the works to shine, while fitting in with the boldness of both political and private topics. Block-coloured page breakers carry minimal titles, and most of the works have a clear white frame, except for a few intense scenes that are allowed to bleed out to the edges.
