Parachutes (2024)

As parachutes with emergency aid began to be dropped off in the air above Gaza, questions of Western hypocrisy began to overtake me.


This realization wasn't new, but the imagery in the media was. 


What are parachutes? A blanket to cover up? A helping hand? A killing hand? 


I painted endless sketches of the evil looking black, shiny plastic parachutes and they started looking more and more like a crooked set of fingers.


The fact that they contain useless Nescafé, pot noodles and expired food in stead of flour and medical aid. 


The fact that all palestinians knew the hypocrisy as the back of their hand.
