Description
JERUSALEM CERAMIC FLOWERS COLLECTION
My family hails from Jerusalem but became refugees due to the ongoing conflict affecting Palestinians in the city. Despite being uprooted from their homes, the kindness and values they carry—values of peace, coexistence, harmony, and acceptance—have been passed down through generations.
My hope is that this collection will serve as a call to accept each other differences, live in unity and harmony. My grandfather used to tell me that this is how inhabitants of Jerusalem used to live their life before 1948. And much like flowers in a garden, which do not engage in conflict over their differences, they instead live together and enrich the landscape with their myriad of colors and unique fragrances.
He pictured me a land where people coexisted in peace, embracing their differences, harmoniously sharing their lives, and embracing each other’s languages. This collection pays tribute to that forgotten land that feels like a distant dream in today’s reality. Through these artworks, I aim to revive those values that once united one community.
