Mother Palestine & Al Nakba (Coming Soon)

Mother Palestine, depicted carrying Jerusalem close to her heart, symbolizes the deep, sacred connection between the Palestinian people and their ancestral land. Dressed in traditional attire, she embodies resilience, dignity, and cultural continuity. The painting is by Palestinian artist Raed Qatanani. Beside her, the image of the Nakba captures the enduring pain of ethnic cleansing, dispossession, and exile since 1948 — a trauma passed from grandparents to grandchildren. This painting is by the renowned Palestinian artist Ismail Shammout. Together, these works reflect not only a memory of loss but a living resistance — affirming that Palestine is not merely a place on a map or a moment in history, but a people’s ongoing struggle for return, justice, and the restoration of dignity.
