01.Don’t Mention the Children

Typography, Poetry
Arabic / English
2025
Publication, Public Art

In circulation via Instagram | A5 edition and public installation  in-development

A 20-page memorial publication documenting each reported name of a child killed in Gaza during Israel's assault on Palestinians, 2023-2025. The work incorporates poetry by Michael Rosen, layered with the documented names to create a record of loss that refuses erasure.

Initially distributed through digital platforms, the piece is expanding into print: an A5 booklet for intimate engagement and a large-scale public poster for community spaces. The work functions as both memorial and political documentation, transforming individual casualties into collective testimony.









02.Uncomfortable Questions

Typographical Art
Australia / International
2025
Public Art


In-Development

This poster series amplifies the voices of children in Gaza through their own words: direct quotes that reveal the reality of living under siege. The visual design creates a deliberate sequence of engagement that transforms casual encounter into sustained reflection. Fluorescent colours catch peripheral vision and draw viewers in, creating an immediate visual hook in urban environments. 

The bold blackletter typography then creates cognitive dissonance: contemporary electric colours clashing with historical, weighty letterforms. The broad nib, calligraphic quality of blackletter echoes the weight and beauty of Arabic calligraphy, creating a visual bridge between the Latin script of the posters and the calligraphic traditions these children would know. This visual parallel honours the gravity of their words through letterforms that carry similar cultural reverence for the written word.

As viewers read the children's direct quotes, the typographic weight crystallises into meaning, creating space for uncomfortable parallels between past and present humanitarian crises. The contrast forces deeper engagement: people must grapple with why the visual feels so loaded, ultimately confronting the conditions these children describe.

The fluorescent colours anchor the work firmly in contemporary visual culture while preventing dismissal as "distant history." The blackletter prevents reduction to typical activist messaging. Together they ensure the work spreads beyond its physical locations through discussion, debate, and social media circulation.

This is activist art designed for maximum impact: using visual provocation to transform street encounters into amplified conversations that viewers cannot easily dismiss or forget.


03.One Hundred Watermelons

Visual Arts, 
Australia / International
2026
Exhibition


In-Development

One Hundred Watermelons brings together 100 artists to create unique interpretations of a single, culturally resonant symbol. The collaborative project unites established and emerging artists from around the world. From painting and sculpture to digital works and textiles, this diverse collection celebrates creativity while raising critical funds for humanitatian aid in Palestine.
04.Flood the Post (Post4Palestine)

Website/Physical Postcards
Digital Post Platform


In development 


A digital platform that transforms online activism into physical political pressure by enabling Australians to send postcards directly to their elected representatives. Building on existing community-led postal campaigns, the website streamlines mass participation through an automated mail service that converts digital messages into physical postcards delivered to Federal politicians.

Users select from available designs, compose personal messages or choose pre-written text, and target specific politicians—all for the cost of postage. The platform removes logistical barriers while maintaining the tangible impact of physical mail, amplifying individual voices into collective political action.

The work bridges digital convenience with analog persistence, recognising that physical mail carries political weight that emails cannot match.



05.Names not Numbers

Documentary

Online Channel


In-Production

A YouTube channel featuring short documentary works by Palestinian filmmakers and journalists, transforming numbers into individual narratives. Each piece reveals the person behind the data, offering direct insight from those documenting their own communities under siege.

The platform enables audiences to financially support creators, establishing a direct economic connection between viewers and Palestinian storytellers. Initial releases showcase work by Ruwaida Amer, presenting four distinct personal accounts from Gaza that counter the abstraction of mass media reporting.





06.Beyond the Ceasefire

February 2025
Storytelling/Fundraising Event

In partnership with Our Race


Community event held in Surry Hills, Sydney. The evening consisted of documentary screenings by Palestinian filmmaker and journalist Ruwaida Amer and a panel discussion with Sara Saleh, Amed Alabadla, and Assala Sayara. Music by Zeadala. The event was held just after the announcement of the ceasefire in early 2025.


07.Living Heritage

30 August, 2025
Community Event/Festival



Living Heritage is a one-day cross-cultural arts event that brings together Palestinian, First Nations and multicultural artists for a public screening of Motherhood in the Colony, live performance, food, and storytelling. Taking place in Western Sydney in early 2026, the event centres creative resistance, cultural identity and solidarity across displaced communities. 
08.Resistance Handbook
In-Development
Digital Resource

An online resource for activists seeking to find ways to impact an end to the genocide on Palestinians. The guide will be a collaboration between multiple human rights organisations documenting research and current information on impactful ways to engage and take action.
09.Echoes of Destruction
In-Development
Interactive/3D


An interactive website featuring 3D scans from Gaza combined with poetry and typography overlays. Users navigate digital reconstructions of physical spaces, with text appearing within the virtual environment to create layered meaning between place and language.

The work preserves architectural and geographical memory through digital documentation, creating immersive testimony that transcends physical destruction.
