"Two years ago, I embarked on a creative journey that gave birth to ‘Al-Rafiq,’ a silent book. It tells the tale of a young boy named Rafiq, compelled to leave his homeland. In his heart-wrenching decision to depart, he cherishes the memories of carefree days spent playing in the shade of a beloved tree, unwilling to part from the companions who chose to remain in their homeland. In the midst of today’s events in Gaza, ‘Al-Rafiq’ resonates deeply with me. The resilience of Rafiq mirrors the strength of the children in Gaza who endure the unimaginable.
My heart extends to every child in Gaza, their unwavering spirit and hope, and the power of art to tell their stories." Bassent Dawoud.
