DescriptionThis painting was made to express the many feelings of Palestinians; the colors were chosen to express the land, the olives, and Palestinian identity. This piece also responds to "At the Station of the Train Which fell off the Map," a poem by Mahmoud Darwish. "for proofs there is impossible dialogue. For genesis there are the lengthy interpretations of philosophers. For my idea about my world there is a defect caused by departure. For my eternal wound there is a tribunal without a neutral judge Tired of truth, the judges tell me: It is just that traffic accidents are common. The train fell off the map And you were burned by past's ember It was not an invasion! But I say: It's just that I only trust my intuition. I am still alive!" This poem was translated by Sinan Antoon and first published on Jadaliyya.
