As it is common sense these days in all venues, society, community and sectors after first integration or exposure with the other lots of questions will be generated after identifying yourself the following question is what's your occupation? Generally, we can point to the existence or the human that is connected to their job and became the title of that person sometimes.
Some people are distinguished by their occupation and became their surname. The value of this idea is getting approach and analyse it. There is a huge differ- ence between excitement and enthusiasm to be on board for this matter. Another headline of this concept is the gender has a role to divide the occupations, de- pending on its heavy duties or appropriations’. Ironically, the occupation depict- ing your value in society. This is always a sort of classification that came through or we can say labialization. We are coming to the point to describe the job what is the job?
What are the pros and cons? Is the economy having its affection on the equality and equity between the gender? How could we cope without having an occupa- tion?
This project highlights our integration with the jobs, activities, and connections. How this relates to the individuals? Aiming to sum up the verity of perspectives and unify them to see the outcome. Different discourses regarding gender with a bunch of groups that attended. Hence, this effort was run voluntarily and cooper- ated, did not have a fund or support by any organization or government. Mainly the performance was in Sulaymaniyah but, at different times and places. The fol- lowing step is arranging some seminars for that purpose.

The theme of torture often appears in the works of Kurdish artists, which has an obvious connection with the history of their nation and the painful experiences of their families and friends.
Drops of milk fall at regular intervals onto the naked head of the artist filmed against a black background. Within a few minutes a small puddle of milk is formed on the top of the artist’s skull, and a thin trickle runs down his weary face. What we see is an obvious reference to the so- called Chinese water torture, in which cold water is slowly dripped onto the victim’s head. Seemingly mild and “humane”, deprived of spectacular violence and blood-shed, it is in reality painful, mentally debilitating and considered one of the most effective.

The motif of dripping milk also refers to Rebeen’s experience of fatherhood. The artist looked after his newborn daughter while his wife was working toward her university degree. Attempting to cope with a new situation, weary with the day-to-day monotony and challenges, the artist was also haunted by fear for his daughter’s future, his desire to protect his daughter from experienced by Kurdish women sense of being unable to break through limiting social, religious and cultural circumstances.
