THE RESILIENT HOPE COLLECTION
SHOCKED? LET’S DIVE DEEPER.
Sometimes, the most powerful messages are hidden in plain sight, nestled within the meanings of words we think we understand. Take “Hamas,” for example—a word that, in English, translates to “Zeal.” Dig into any dictionary, and you’ll find that zeal represents a fiery enthusiasm or eagerness to act, especially for causes close to one’s heart. It’s about channelling intense energy and dedication towards achieving goals, supporting a cause, or participating in an activity with unwavering commitment.
WHO SHOULD EMBRACE THIS COLLECTION—AND WHY?
This collection is for anyone with a heart for justice and a spirit that echoes support. If you’re driven by hope, imbued with strength, and steadfast in the face of adversity, these pieces speak to you. They are symbols of solidarity, markers that you’re engaged in a larger battle for what’s right. Originally named “I Refuse to Sink,” this collection, from my lens as both a designer and a human deeply moved by the plight for justice, serves as my voice in the chorus calling for change. Provocation isn’t my aim—expression is. This small drop in the ocean of advocacy is my contribution, and I stand to lose nothing but my silence.
A DESIGNER’S VISION: ZEAL, RESILIENCE, AND HOPE
Call it what you will—”Resilient Hope,” “Zeal,” or “I Refuse to Sink.” To me, these are more than labels; they’re reflections of my journey as a designer and my perspective on the universal quest for freedom. Rooted in the powerful essence of zeal, this collection is a testament to not just the Palestinian resistance, but to all global citizens’ relentless pursuit of rights and liberty. The anchor isn’t just an emblem of steadiness; it’s a declaration that despite the storms, we refuse to sink.
In every piece of the “Resilient Hope Collection,” I aim to weave a narrative of endurance, passion, and unwavering faith in the face of daunting challenges. It’s a narrative inspired by the strength of the human spirit, a story I’m telling through design.
