Not Numbers by Yazan Abu Salameh
Featured in Zawyeh Gallery’s Posters for Gaza, Not Numbers by Abu Salameh explores the themes of confinement and control under occupation. The poster evokes the sense of restricted freedom, symbolizing how Palestinian spaces are tightly monitored and constrained, reflecting the ongoing struggle for sovereignty and dignity. Abu Salameh’s work often combines materials like concrete, pebbles, wires, and Lego blocks to create textured, map-like pieces. These elements capture the fragmented reality of Palestinian life—childhood memories intertwined with the harshness of blockades, watchtowers, and surveillance.
