Like many, I knew very little about the history of Palestine and the decades of suffering and displacement endured by the Palestinian people before October 7, 2023.

Over the past few years, I’ve made a conscious effort to educate myself, to listen and to better understand the complexities and stories behind this tension. I recognize how much I still have to learn and I carry regret for the years I spent unaware.

As an artist, I want to create work that amplifies advocacy. This card was born from that desire. It’s a small expression of solidarity with the Palestinian people, but my first step in turning grief into action. All net-profits will be donated to the Palestinian Youth Movement. Let this be a reminder that two things can be true:

We can live full, present lives while continuing to stand with Palestinians, who are still waiting for dignity, peace, and freedom.
