Joan Didion, from Blue Nights
actually I think you're lying about your lived experience and the proof I have is that i asked the warped and evil strawman version of you that I built to live inside my mind and it said you're full of shit and you never have good intentions ever

A selection of works by Palestinian artist Heba Zagout.
Heba was killed by an Israeli airstrike on her home in Gaza along with 2 of her children, on October 13th, 2023. She was only 39. Her dream was to exhibit her art around the world. We can still make that come true. Would you please help me? Spread Heba's art, tell your friends about her, preserve her legacy.
Heba studied graphic design and had a passion for vibrant colors. She spent her life painting scenery of Palestine, including cities she'd never even been to because she was confined in Gaza. Her work features many symbols of Palestinian culture, such as the Dome of the Rock, olive trees, domed stone houses, adjoining mosque minarets and church spires, red poppies (national flower of Palestine), and tatreez - the unique embroidered patterns traditionally worn by Palestinian women.
This is a small selection of my favorites, but you can find much more on her IG, @zagoutheba.
Rest in power. Free Palestine.
My father taught me many things here - he taught me in this room. He taught me: keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.
