On the left,Β a painting by Palestinian artist Souad Nasr painted more than 35 years ago.Β Which reminds me of the photo on the right of an Old Palestinian woman holding onto an olive tree thatβs being uprooted by Israel somewhere in the early 2000s
The photo on the right was taken by Nasser Ishtayeh in 2005, near Nablus. The woman is Mahfoutha Shtayyeh. You can look at more of Souad Nasr Makhoulβs work here.
