Day by day, as I witness the unfolding realities, I, as an artist, have keenly observed the relentless efforts of the occupation to erase, cleanse, and annihilate the identity of our fellow friends and brothers from Palestine. In my latest digital illustration, I depict the profound struggle for freedom and identity.

At the heart of the artwork, a hand emerges from the rubble, reaching out to grasp a vibrant watermelon. This watermelon, symbolizing the resilient spirit of the Palestinian people, is bound by chains, reflecting the systematic attempts to suppress and erase their cultural and personal identity.

Behind the hand, a towering wall looms, symbolizing the oppressive forces that seek to subdue and silence the voices of the Palestinian people. Yet, above the wall, a clear sky represents the enduring hope that transcends these attempts at erasure.

This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of the relentless resistance against the erasure of identity. It calls upon us to stand united, acknowledging the deep-rooted struggle faced by Palestinians in preserving their heritage freedom, culture, and sense of self.
