A composition built through layered symbols, each one carrying its own meaning while sitting together in quiet harmony.
Watermelon, olive leaves, a heart, and a dove are brought into balance across the surface, forming a visual language that speaks to identity, resilience, and connection to land. The watermelon holds a particular significance, long used as a subtle expression of Palestinian identity, its colours echoing those of the flag during times when it could not be openly displayed.
Olive leaves weave through the composition, grounding the work in a symbol that has long represented peace and rootedness, while the dove moves gently across the piece, holding a sense of hope and possibility.
Printed from the original artwork on handmade paper, the texture and depth of the material remain present, allowing each element to sit with clarity while still feeling soft and organic.
A work that brings together symbol and story, holding meaning both quietly and with strength.
