Piggy Banks by Rana Samara
Featured in Zawyeh Gallery’s Posters for Gaza, Piggy Banks by Rana Samara uses powerful symbolism to highlight the impact of war on Palestinian children. Born in Jerusalem in 1985, Samara depicts a war tank inside a piggy bank, reflecting how the harsh realities of occupation and conflict shape childhoods in Palestine. The poster starkly illustrates how innocence and normalcy are overshadowed by violence, where even something as simple as a child’s savings becomes entwined with the presence of war. Through this, Samara critiques the ongoing occupation and its deep, lasting effects on everyday life and future generations.
