Story of the Artwork
During the night of an eclipse of the moon a Palestinian children’s custom was to form a parade marching through villages to the highest hill while drumming on pots and pans in an effort to ward off a whale from taking a bite of the moon.
Begun in 2019, the artwork’s imagery incorporates segments of Palestinian embroidery design, known as Tatreeze, and an embroidered map of original Palestine identifying the major villages.
