Description: Greatly personally affected by the Palestinian humanitarian crisis produced by the longstanding Israeli occupation and the destruction of the healthcare infrastructure, I made this piece while at a family art night in memory of all those Palestinians, alive and dead, who are not able to sit with their families in safety and creativity.
The crushed glass represents all of the destruction that has been promulgated against the Palestinians people. The boat is in the colors of the Palestinian flag, attempting to flee the destruction. The gold waves are the golden souls that have carried the Palestinian cause. The gray waters are the choppy and hostile global context that has ignored and opposed them for decades. The far left of the image exhibits the olive tree burning as the country is burning. The tree is on a colorful land representing the fertility and resource-rich land of Palestine. The sun is also a burning flower, bearing down on the scene. The seagulls in the top right symbolize such a severity of the conditions that even the last of nature (the foreign aid workers) have departed. And despite this, the sky is blue and clear for there will always be hope for this resilient people.
