TEXT:
I DRAW A SKETCH OF
MOHAMMAD KHALIFA
WHO DIED 10 DECEMBER 2024, AGED 20,
KILLED BY AN ISRAELI AIRSTRIKE oN THe
NUSEIRAT REFUGEE CAMP, ALONGSIDE
SEVEN MEMBERS OF His FAMILY.

I SEE HIS PHOTOGRAPH IN A STORY IN
AN IRISH NEWSPAPER . THEY SHow OTHER
PHOTOGRAPHS OF MUHAMMAD As A Boy,
WHEN HE WOULD VISIT IRELAND
ON SUMMER FOOTBALL TRIPS.

I TELL MYSELF WE NEED TO LEARN From PALESTINIAN ARTISTS.

THEY DO NOT ENDLESSLY AESTHETICIZE DESTRUCTION. IN THE
WORST CIRCUMSTANCES IMAGINABLE THEY TRY TO GIVE LIFE TO HOPE.
I SKETCH A PHOTOGRAPH OF A YOUNG PALESTINIAN MAN KILED BY THE OCCUPATION, BUT IT IS ALSO A SKETCH OF ANOTHER PEOPLE, WITH THEIR OWN EXPERIENCE OF COLONIAL OCCUPATION, WHO ORGANISED FOOTBALL TRIPS For THE KIDS OF GAZA AND REFUSE To FORGET THEM.
