Her most exhibited artwork, Global Citizens (Emote Edition), explores the female gaze through the use of charcoal drawing and textiles to represent ten women from numerous countries: Australia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Italy, Lebanon, New Zealand, USA, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe. Each woman presents a different gaze that is universally recognised by all audiences. Gerges wanted to highlight the emotional spectrum that one may feel in a day, depicting the common experience among strangers from different parts of the world.
