As the creator of this work, I request your understanding and reflection. The imagery, while intense, aims not to distress but to ignite thought about a grave issue. This artistic dramatization, inspired by a wisdom imparted by my father, seeks to foster empathy and awareness. He once told me that as artists and creatives, we have a duty to use the talent God has bestowed upon us to support a good cause. This artwork is my humble attempt to fulfill that duty, to lend my voice to the ongoing situation in Gaza, and, hopefully, inspire meaningful conversations and actions.

This piece portrays the Palestinian struggle, echoing their silent cries for justice amidst relentless conflict.

The artwork captures the human cost of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict–hands reaching out from the rubble symbolize lost lives. The Al-Aqsa Mosque stands tall against this desolation, its dome blanketed by descending ashes – a chilling reminder of ceaseless warfare. The blood-stained soil bears silent testament to generations lost on this contested land.

This artwork is a stark reminder of political strife’s human toll. It invites viewers to see Palestinians as individuals with dreams and struggles. It’s a call to action, urging us to shape narratives, amplify oppressed voices, and stand in solidarity with them in their quest for justice.
