The impulse for «Gold» was long neglected but always present in Albash’s mind and her engagement with her personal roots - the questions about where we’re from always defining where we’re going and what we do. Daughter of a Palestinian refugee who grew up in Jordan and a Swiss mother, she grew up on Lake Constance and, in a typical Swiss village setting, found it hard to establish a relationship with her father's Arab culture. Only recently did Albash decide to deal with her origins and to open herself, geographically and culturally, to Palestine. She eventually jumped the fence when she received an invitation from Basel’s venue Kaserne to take part in a Basel-Ramallah exchange project that finally allowed her to directly experience Palestine and its rich, distant culture: a country of absolute contrasts where Albash, aside of great suffering, injustice and despair, found  strength, beauty, power and inspiration. Further trips followed on which Albash could make enriching acquaintances and establish new relationships with a home that was believed to be lost.
