Over the past 6 months I have been struggling as I've watched a Genocide being committed towards the Palestinian people while world leaders not only ignore the ongoing atrocities and war crimes, but actively aid and abet it. They are complicit in this Genocide. Where is your humanity? Where is your morality?

I am angry. I am sad. I am devastated. I have no more words to express how I feel. Now I just watch in silent horror.

With this said, I have felt the enormous support and push from the people to make this stop. The power and community it has generated gives me hope and energy. Every week for 6 months I am surrounded by like-minded people who are fighting for justice. This community knows that all our struggles are linked. Palestinian justice is justice for all. It is social justice, climate justice, medical justice, indigenous justice, racial justice, women's justice, anti-colonial, anti-imperial, anti-empire etc. For we know that none of us are free until Palestine is free.

With this ongoing Genocide, I have found it very difficult to focus on my artistic practice. To counter this I have made this monoprint 'Free Palestine' (2024) and I have auctioned it off for charity. Thank you Gemma for donating to a GoFundMe to get Dr Youssef Ashour's family (including his newborn baby) out of Gaza while he plans to stay and continue to treat his patients. Healthcare is something that is close to my heart and I am in awe of those healthcare practitioners who stay to treat their patients while they risk losing their lives.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
