Artist Statement:
The conflict between Palestine and Israel reflects a struggle over land, power, and self-determination. It also echoes the effects of colonialism and foreign influence, similar to the impact of U.S. imperialism in the Philippines. This work is an expression of solidarity with the Palestinian people. The Palestinian key represents the homes lost by Palestinians who were displaced, forced to flee violence, or lost their lives. It stands as a reminder of the pain and injustice of displacement, while also symbolizing hope, the right to return, and the enduring connection to their homeland.
