Al-Amm Saber (Uncle
Saber)
This painting represents a Palestinian fisherman in
Gaza who is told by the occupiers that he is no longer
allowed to fish without their permission. In an instant,
his livelihood is ruined, and he is filled with insecurity
about how to provide for his family. This was produced
as a mural on canvas and is part of "The Exodus
& The Odyssey" collection.

The Witness
Artist's statement: "The doves, without eyes, beaks, or legs, are caged within barbed wire. How can peace move forward in such circumstances? Israel has wrought havoc to the Palestinian infrastructure, destroying our agriculture and industry. But as long as Palestinian mothers bear children, the next generation will pass on the torch of resistance."

Challenge
Artist's statement: "We can compare our plight to the age-old sacred evergreen olive tree. Roots dug deep into rocky land bespeak of our strong attachment to our ancestral country. It's defiance of elements and time reflects our struggle against greater powers and huge odds. We both endure, yet in the end we both survive." This was produced
as a mural on canvas and is part of "The Exodus
& The Odyssey" collection.
