Title: "Saint"
Description:
This project aims to portray Palestinian resistance women in a contemporary light, departing from the conventional historical and heritage perspectives often associated with artistic representations of Palestinian women through a series of five pieces, where I explore the iconic representation of women from various angles, encompassing the multifaceted nature of womanhood and her role in society. Each piece measures 38 x 48 cm and is created using the silkscreen printing technique.
silkscreen print on paper, Limited edition of 10, created in 2023.

In the third icon, the incorporation of a delicate wreath of roses serves as a poignant representation of the inherent femininity that defines her essence.
