바카라As long as there is hope in our hearts, we will achieve the dream, we will move forward, and difficulties will not stop in our paths. Let us enter the race of life and achieve victory with our resolve, as despair and surrender are not of our shame,바카라 - Heba Zaqout
Palestinian artist Heba Zaqout was killed in an Israeli attack along with her husband and children on October 13. The artistic community in Gaza grieves the loss of Zaqout, a visual artist committed to amplifying the Palestinian narrative through her craft.
바카라No no no no no. I바카라m just learning this. My dear friend and artist Heba Zaqout was killed with her husband and children on October 13,바카라 Palestinian poet, Mosab Abu Toha, said in a post on Instagram. 바카라Heba contributed to a special issue about Palestinian poetry from Gaza that I co-edited two years ago. I will be sharing some of her artwork that she shared with me. I바카라m sad and angry.바카라
Mosab Abu Toha, who had previously worked on a special profile of Palestinian poetry for Peripheries Magazine with Heba Zaqout, said she had then written to him saying, 바카라I hope this will help me spread my artwork. I need to sell some of my works in order to rebuild my destroyed house.바카라
From minarets, domes and churches to olive trees and cactus, her acrylic artwork became a symbol of Palestinian identity and resistance over the years.
The olive tree, she wrote in her Instagram post, had always held a special place for her, 바카라When 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.바카라
Born in 1984 in Gaza, she obtained a diploma in graphic design from Gaza Training College in 2003 and specialised in fine arts, graduating from Al-Aqsa University in 2007. In addition to her role as a public school teacher, Heba Zaqout showcased her artwork in various exhibitions. In 2021, she hosted a solo exhibition titled, 바카라My Children in Quarantine바카라.
Through her art work, Zaqout sought to convey the struggles faced by Palestinians, especially women, and their quest for hope amidst adversity. Her vibrant art painted a picture of 바카라happy dreams바카라, 바카라love바카라, 바카라hope바카라 and 바카라peace바카라, the people of Gaza yearned for.
바카라Let your hopes bloom as the cactus blooms! Don't be heartbroken and let your hopes soar in the sky of life.. For as light rises from the darkness of dawn, and as cactus grows from the thorns of a flower, one day will come and all your dreams and all wishes will come true..,바카라 she wrote as a caption to one of her Instagram posts.
In one of her last posts on social media, Heba Zaqout's distress and urgency were palpable in her words.
바카라O Allah, we entrust You with hearts shattered by separation. O Allah, mend our broken hearts, grant us patience in the face of your judgment and fate. Be our strength, stay by our side, fortify our patience, and reward us for our enduring spirit. O Allah, unite our fragile hearts, as they depend solely on You,바카라 she said.
