This listing is for a print of painting is of a young Palestinian Australian activist sitting at the the 24/7 picket outside Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's office in Marrickville, Sydney, known as Little Palestine Outside Albo's. I painted this young woman as a representative of the Australian Palestinian community.
I have pained her in a blue hijab to bring attention to her face but also to remind Christians of Mary and that the hijab is not something we should feel threatened by. The blue welcomes the viewer because it is familiar iconography to so many of us.
A young woman in a blue hijab sits on a black street bench beneath a tree. There is a yellow cushion on the bench which contrasts with the black. The girl wears a scarf with a keffiye print. Behind the girl is a green hedge and blue sky. To the left a Palestinian flag billows in the breeze behind her, on the right a kite with long tails hangs from the tree.
The vigil has now been mostly removed. This art will serve as a reminder.
100% of profits will be donated to help affected Palestinians in Australia, UNRWA, and to APAN to voice concerns and bring attention to Palestinian rights.
