Watermelon

Statement

This painting uses the visual symbolism of a watermelon to represent the Palestinian flag. The watermelon becomes a space for symbolic resistance, reflecting the presence of identity despite attempts to erase it. The use of watermelon as a visual symbol dates back to the 1970s, when the Palestinian flag was banned in the occupied territories.
