My Isolation Diaries
2026
The first artist’s book by Raida Adon is a delicate yet incisive diary of a feminine gaze that penetrates the cracks—into those places the heart still managed to feel, just before memory blurred.
Between Paris and Palestine, between estrangement and belonging, between a restless landscape and a home without an address, unfolds an inner journey in which every image is a longing, and every fracture a call for an echo. It is a diary of solitude and vulnerability, of a landscape that speaks its own language, and of a femininity that hesitates before the world, yet refuses to disappear.
