The Watermelon Canvas Print

Title: The Watermelon Canvas Print.

It’s just a slice of watermelon. Until you understand what it means.

Red, green, white and black. The colours of the Palestinian flag, found naturally in a fruit that became a symbol of something much bigger.

For Palestinians, the watermelon has become a way of expressing identity, resistance and belonging. Especially during times when displaying the Palestinian flag was restricted.

And that’s what makes it powerful. Something so ordinary carrying a message that refuses to disappear.

I wanted this piece to feel bold and unapologetic. The deep green, the bright red, the paint splashing and dripping across the canvas. Nothing held back.

It’s about what you carry with you. The memories, the stories, the people and the connection to a place that never really leaves you.
