The Key

Artwork: Mural by Seth, Palestinian village, 2022

A poignant mural by Seth (@seth_globepainter), painted in a Palestinian village in 2022. Here’s what he wrote about it recently:

“This boy was painted in 2022 in Qalandia, a Palestinian village wedged between two Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. The key is an important symbol for refugees. It represents the memory of the home they left and the hope of being able to return there one day.
Today for the population of Gaza in hell, the key evokes not just the bombed-out home, but above all the possibility of escaping death and their unshaken desire to be able to live freely one day.”
