VA - For Gaza

About the Artwork:
“The watermelon is a direct symbolic representation of the flag of Gaza because of its colors. 
Here, a piece of it is bit off and the watermelon is held by the hands of a monster that’s wanting to eat out the entire fruit - a reference to those in power who want to occupy the land of Gaza.
The leaves growing through are olive leaves, which is their major crop and represents their deep rooted connection to the land.
The leaves here are used as a symbol of hope and growth. No matter the attempt at occupation, the people like the olive trees will remain resilient, grow and prosper.
Behind this is the pattern of the traditional head scarf - Keffiyeh, a potent symbol of identity and resistance.
It is a fishnet pattern that represents the people’s connection to the Mediterranean while the bold line above it represents trade routes. These scarfs have come to symbolise their struggle for self determination, justice and freedom.
When the first Nakba (catastrophe) in 1948 took place, where the people were forcefully displaced, they took their keys with them, sure they would return. It is also passed down from generations as a symbol of preservation of their identity and history.
The people, even today, are still holding on to their key, determined to return one day.
And the key here represents their right to return.
We as humans may have failed and turned a blind eye, but, the Sun and Moon are witness to the injustice to the people of Gaza and their land.”
