Children of Al Shifa Hospital
I created this piece to honor the children of Al Shifa hospital in Palestine. On November 7th, Palestinian children stood outside Al-Shifa hospital with a message pleading to the world that we care. They said:
WE INVITE YOU TO PROTECT US. WE WANT TO LIVE. WE WANT PEACE. WE WANT TO LIVE AS THE OTHER CHILDREN LIVE.
Children shouldn’t have to do press conferences to beg us to care.
I created this art piece so that we may never forget their words. A few days after this press conference, Israel began bombing the Al-Shifa hospital, killing people and not allowing for people to enter in search of their loved ones, even preventing ambulances from entering and leaving the facility.
Proceeds from this print were donated to the groups in Palestine doing relief work.
