The Sea is Mine
Sliman Mansour

The Sea is Mine by Sliman Mansour: A woman, a girl, and a boy raise their hands high and march along a beach. They hold a pen, a paintbrush, a rifle, an olive branch, and the Key of Return, while a white dove soars above them. The backdrop captures a beach scene where people are engrossed in relaxation and leisure, seemingly oblivious to this determined small demonstration.

Mansour ensures the inclusion of fundamental elements of the Palestinian struggle within the painting. While the pen and paintbrush symbolize creativity, the rifle signifies resistance, and the olive branch and white dove represent peace. The key stands as a symbol in the Palestinian struggle for the right of return for refugees.

Through this work, The Sea is Mine, Mansour conveys a steadfast commitment to carry forward the Palestinian resistance in all its manifestations, even amidst the worldโ€™s self-absorption and inattentiveness to the Palestinian plight.ย
