In stock · Ships in 3-5 business days
High-resolution print of an original Watan art piece. This piece depicts a line of poetry by famed Palestinian author, Fadwa Tuqan; the stanza comes from the poem "This Earth" (or "Al-Kawkab Al-'Ardhy"). The lines depicted:
هذا الكوكب الأرضي"
لو بيدي
لو أني أقْدر أن أقْلِبه هذا الكوكبْ
لو أني أملك أن أملأه هذا الكوكبْب
بذور الحبّْ
فتعرِّش في كلّ الدنيا
أشجار الحبّْ
ويصير الحب هو الدنيا
"ويصير الحب هو الدربْ
A rough translation:
"This Earth
If it were in my hands
If I were able to flip this world
If I possessed the ability to saturate this world
With seeds of love
So all this world is filled
With trees of love
So love becomes the world
So love becomes the way.”
These lines of poetry are painted in place of much of the gold coins that would usually adorn the headdress of this Palestinian woman.

“Exile is strangely compelling to think about but terrible to experience. It is the unhealable rift forced between a human being and a native place, between the self and its true home: its essential sadness can never be surmounted. -Edward Said”
”للمنفى شجن دفين لا يمكن التغلب عليه البتة ، فهو ينبع من الواقع الأساسي للمنفي، من بين الذات وموطنها.“
