Jerusalem- Heba Zagout

We live our lives like the rhythm of music. Sometimes it is loud music and other times it is like quiet music. This is life

Jerusalem is my city- Heba Zagout

We are always looking for safety in our lives. We may find it in love or security, but we will keep looking for it- Heba Zagout

Alienation makes our hearts as thin as an old fabric that easily leaks water. There is no immunity to our feelings of alienation. Delusion defeats us, and the homelands mix with the people we meet from our homelands. We may love the homeland in them and think that we loved them. - ⚘ This painting is a gift for everyone far from home- Heba Zagout

When I was young, the olive harvest season was very special to me. Family members used to gather with me and pick olives. My mother then stores them with lemon slices and peppers to keep them all year round.

Thank you mom
