About Artwork
Mohammed Hawajri strives to represent both escapism and grim realities, as his work sheds light on his reality by way of merging satirical and beautiful subject matter.
This is a series which is influenced by Mohammed’s mother as a symbol of the beauty, strength and resilience of women. The women’s dresses are decorated with images of the fluctuating reality that Palestinians are dealing with on a daily basis. The bright and beautiful colors is the artists way of looking forth to keep the hope alive for the anticipated future.
