High Rise Sunrise
The morning sun rises over Gaza like a wound reopening—its light filtered through dust, smoke, and silence. From the rooftops, families watch another day begin in a city that never truly sleeps, only pauses between echoes of survival. The flag flutters in the hot wind, a small, stubborn gesture against the vast machinery of ruin. In this painting, the sunrise is not renewal but resistance — a fragile blaze over concrete and grief, proof that even here, amid destruction, the horizon still burns with life.
