I Held Palestine Like a Small Child — Original Artwork by Warda

"I held Palestine like a small child...because when a homeland hurts, only a mother's embrace can heal it."

This is an original artwork by Warda, a Palestinian artist whose work is rooted in lived experience, memory, and survival.

Each piece is a one-of-a-kind expression — created slowly, intentionally, and with deep emotional honesty. Warda’s words accompany her work because the story is inseparable from the image. What you see and what you read belong together.

This artwork is not reproduced or mass-produced.
It exists as a single piece, carrying the moment it was made.

By purchasing this artwork, you are directly supporting Warda’s livelihood and creative practice, allowing her to continue creating on her own terms, with dignity.

This is art as testimony.
Art as survival.
Art as a way of staying human.
