" I painted this work in the spring of 2024, when Israel waged a war on journalists and journalism, while weaponizing food in Gaza, while much of the mainstream media in the West was complicit in promoting the Israeli narrative. This piece reflects how Western media continues to repeat the same lies and narratives with empty words. It shows how Israeli narrative and lies can be trapped in cycles of discourse, images and statements while real suffering remain unchanged. " - Dr. Alijila
